Inspired by stays abroad and the different realities of people from diverse cultures, I became interested in the influence of human civilisation on the ecosystems of the earth. Since the production of food plays a central role in this, I decided to study agricultural sciences, which I began at the Friedrich-Wilhelm University of Bonn and continued at the Georg-August University of Göttingen with a focus on resource management. Most recently, I completed a Master's degree in sustainable international agriculture at the Universities of Göttingen and Kassel with a focus on organic agriculture. During my studies, I worked in various positions as a research assistant and completed my Master's thesis on the influence of regenerative agriculture on soil fertility. Through my second degree in economics at the University of Potsdam, I would like to deepen my economic and political knowledge in order to shape the agricultural turnaround and a sustainable agriculture in Germany as well as on an European and global level.
