About

I am a political scientist, coordinating the working area "transformation of industry, energy- and climate politics" at the Stiftung Arbeit und Umwelt, the sustainability think tank of the German Mining, Chemical and Energy Labour Federation. I am fighting for a just and sustainable transformation, towards a ghg neutral economy.

My previous work includes positions as scientist at the German Centre for Rail Traffic Research (DZSF), as senior advisor at the Hans Böckler Foundation and as researcher and adjunct lecturer at both theUniversity of Duisburg-Essen and Rhine-Waal University in Cleve. I am also trained in diversity oriented career coaching, peer coaching and in solution-focused counseling.

From 2018-2021 I was a postdoctoral researcher and project manager for the DFG research project The Identity Effect of Europeanized Lifeworlds at Rhine-Waal University and University of Mainz. I initiated the follow-up project FANZinE - Football as basis for social cohesion in Europe, which I have later supported as scientific advisor.

I have studied political science and history at the universities of Aachen, Prague and Potsdam. I obtained my PhD with a work on Young people in old politics from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Duisburg-Essen (supervised by Prof. Dr Achim Goerres).
