About me
I chose my degree because I wanted to make cities greener! Quality of life has always been very important to me, and my close connection to nature has driven me to make it accessible to everyone. During my studies, I discovered the topic of climate adaptation and have continued to pursue it ever since. I was able to gain experience in shaping a sustainable future both as a climate consultant and in planning offices and city administrations. After 10 years of working in public administration, I now share my knowledge as a trainer, consultant, and speaker.
