In my eyes, language is the most useful tool available to humans. It enables us to achieve something that no other species can. By this I don't just mean communicating with each other, as also occurs in the animal kingdom. Rather, language enables us to describe our perceptions and feelings. This allows us to analyze situations from different perspectives and gain insights into the matter at hand and the respective points of view.

I see myself as an approachable communicator; I enjoy language and people, making complex content understandable, moderating groups and getting people talking. I combine didactic thinking with practical experience and promote interdisciplinary cooperation - open, structured and without fear of contact, even outside my field. In the engineering office, I act as a bridge builder: I prepare technical content clearly, moderate interfaces, communicate in a structured way and keep stakeholders in dialog.
