With nearly two decades of experience in public health and social development, I've cultivated a career centered on fostering youth participation, sustainable practices, and community engagement. As a Senior Project Manager and Project Lead at the Bertelsmann Foundation, I lead multidisciplinary teams, oversee scientific studies, and coordinate large-scale events. My work focuses on empowering youth for a sustainable future, bridging the gap between research and real-world application.Previously, I spearheaded the "Leave No Child Behind!" initiative, driving critical research and implementing municipal prevention programs across Germany. My expertise spans educational governance, health promotion, social inequalities, and collaboration with key stakeholders in politics, civil society, and academia.I hold a Doctorate in Public Health from the University of Bielefeld and a Master's in International Public Health from Maastricht University. With a solid background in scientific research and a commitment to social impact, I bring a unique blend of leadership, strategic thinking, and hands-on project management to every role I undertake.
