I have always been a curious and open-minded person. When starting my university studies, I was driven by the urge to explore how life on our planet works. During my studies of Biology, I gained insights in different aspects of life and strategies and mechanisms by which species affect each other: in my Bacherlor studies in the field of Limnology I dealt with parasites in the fish liver, my Master work brought me to the laboratory where I learned new methodical skillsets when investigating cyanobacterial toxins in cell culture. During the four years of my PhD research, I did not only gain extensive knowledge about bacterial toxins and their effects on the human body. I also developed skills like planning of a larger project, working in a team while still having complete responsibility for my own project and supervising junior students of different fields (medicine, pharmacology and biology). During this time, I started taking courses in Toxicology (DGPT) and Ecotoxicology (SETAC GLB, GDCh) to expand my area of expertise.For eight months, I travelled the world - a time, in which I was able to broaden my horizon in many ways. I saw incredible landscapes, experienced different cultures and learned to be more humble. But I also got an idea of the problems our world is facing like plastics in the ocean in Indonesia, smog over the cities of India and often no awareness of what our actions are doing to the environment. In October 2020 I joined knoell Germany GmbH as a regulatory ecotoxicologist. My professional expertise includes environmental risk assessment for different non-target organisms (including higher-tier refinements) the context of (microbial) plant protection products, dossier preparation for active substances and (microbial) plant protection products (also in IUCLID), literature evaluation and statistical evaluation of ecotoxicological studies.
