I joined Oxford as an MPhil student of European Politics and Society in 2023. Before this, I studied Philosophy, Economics and Protestant Theology at the Universities of Bayreuth and Heidelberg, Germany, and the University of Granada, Spain.
My research primarily focuses on climate policy, political economy, and monetary policy.
Beyond academia, I am committed to climate activism, co-founding Klimaentscheid Bayreuth, a local NGO engaged in a citizens' referendum and Germany's first local climate lawsuit. Furthermore, my passion extends to fostering equal opportunities in education and beyond. I am a mentor at Project Access and initiated a diversity initiative within my undergraduate program at the University of Bayreuth.
