Biography

Prior to getting involved in agricultural studies and obtaining a degree in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, I did a B.A. in Tourism and Travel Management and a M.Sc. in Tourism Management, working on equitable and community-led tourism development and social network analysis.

Afterwards, I ventured into non-academic fields, working in Los Angeles, USA and in Düsseldorf, Germany.

While completing my B.Sc. degree in Agricultural Sciences, I did a 5-month internship at the Bavarian State Research Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture (LWG) gaining more practical knowledge about the cultivation of various fruits, and methods of irrigation. Also, I was able to cooperate with the LWG for my dissertation on water management practices utilising different types of water retaining soil amendments.

In the past two years I have been working part-time at the German science communication organisation Wissenschaft im Dialog (WiD) within the Science Year projects of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. I strongly believe in the importance of science communication and the promotion of understanding of scientific research to the public.
