I am a passionate European from Germany with policy and analytical expertise in international and EU security. I am also a people person and thrive in multicultural environments where I can interact with different stakeholders on a daily basis.

Having lived and studied in a multitude of countries, and on the basis of work experience in government, academia, civil society and international organisations, I am very comfortable with working at the intersection of different policy areas. After completing my PhD on EU police cooperation, a project inspired among other things by my personal fascination with the EU, I am currently based in Berlin where I work on a broad range of digital and cyber issues as a political consultant and intelligence analyst. Having grown up in a Europe without borders continues to push me to look closer, dig deeper and strive beyond. This is why the international policy environment is where I am best off and where I want to employ and further develop my competencies.
