About me
About Me
Promoting human rights and conflict resolution to achieve lasting change.
My academic background is in politics, philosphy and law. I’ve worked in cross-functional and international teams in tech in Dublin, in international conflict research with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, and in human rights and policing in Northern Ireland, a post-conflict society.
Since moving back to Germany in 2024, I have also been working as a funeral director in our family business in Königstein im Taunus near Frankfurt.
My bundle of different experiences and skillsets enables me to collaborate with different organisations and stakeholders, research effectively and come up with creative solutions to problems.
