About me

I chose my degree back then because I wanted to make cities greener! Quality of life has always been very important to me and my close connection to nature was a driving force to make this accessible to everyone.
 
During my studies, I discovered the topic of climate adaptation and have been working on it ever since. I was able to gain experience of how to shape a sustainable future both as a climate expert and in planning offices and municipal administrations.
 
After 10 years working in government, I now pass on my knowledge as a trainer, consultant and speaker and help changemakers and pioneers to find their place and make the difference they want.
