Originally coming from Germany, I hold a Bachelor’s in International Affairs from the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland, and two Master’s: one in International Public Management from Sciences Po, Paris, and another one in International Affairs and Governance from the University of St.Gallen. This is also where I do my PhD in International Affairs and Political Economy, at the Institute for Economy and the Environment. Besides my studies, I am a passionate hobby harpist. Also in my extracurricular activities, engaging with societal and ecological topics has always been a top priority for me. Thus, during my Bachelor’s I have been part of the local Amnesty International students group in St. Gallen. More recently, I have taken up a fellowship with the Zukunft-Fabrik.2050, a new thinktank working towards embedding long-term thinking as the basis for action in politics, business, and society. I am an alumna of the Stiftung der deutschen Wirtschaft where I had a scholarship during my Master’s.
