„After studying technical biology at the University of Stuttgart, which I completed with a thesis at the Institute of Biochemistry, I worked at a healthcare centre in the field of anaesthetics. In this role, I got first-hand insight into the day-to-day work in the operating theatre. I gained initial experience in project management and PR work during my almost two years at BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH, where I worked as editor-in-chief and project manager. Since December 2017, I’ve been working at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH in the field of public relations management and as project manager. In this function, I am leading a large national project in the health sector and complement the team in other European-wide funding projects.“

"By participating at the trinational study course of the École supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg, I was able to gain first international study experience. After graduating with a diploma thesis in the area of Virology and Gene Therapy at the University of Michigan, I developed a DNA microarray for rapid antibiotic resistance detection during my doctorate at the Institute of Technical Biochemistry in Stuttgart. The following ten years I worked in the product and marketing management in the field of diagnostics at Greiner Bio-One GmbH, which produces multiplex analytical methods for use in food safety, human diagnostics and product safety in the pharmaceutical industry. Starting January 2017 at the BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, I will use my international experience in the development, application and marketing of biotechnological methods to network, attend and support companies in the medtech and biotech industry in the region. As project manager I support the regional companies’ prospects for automated applications and the development of new products."
