About me

I was born in southern Germany and have always felt a deep passion for biology and aquatic ecosystems. I studied Biogeosciences in Koblenz, Germany, and worked with amphibians in Rwanda for my thesis. My travels have fueled my fascination with the oceans and inspired me to study the International Master's in Marine Biology (IMBRSea), with the first two semesters in Spain. I am currently undertaking an eight-week internship on the Costa Brava at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Blanes.  (CEAB).

Hobbies

I love the sea and the mountains. Diving and scuba diving allow me to explore the seabed, while hiking and trail running take me to beautiful mountain landscapes. Running ultramarathons is one of my personal challenges in nature, and travelling solo as a backpacker gives me the opportunity to have new experiences, connected with nature and people.
