The fascination for North American cultures became evident for me at a young age. Academic and professional experiences in the USA and Canada, as well as my studies in English Studies and Politics and Society, strengthened my desire to work in the international field. Especially the direct contact with students in an academic environment and my general interest in intercultural exchange make working at AiB particularly attractive and exciting for me. This motivates me to convey this interest to our students on a day-to-day basis. Besides my work at AiB, I can often be found on various basketball courts, especially in the Cologne area. I am also very interested in movies and exhibitions of all kinds.
