I am working with the ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen) as Head of Section. Our work promotes cultural exchange to assist peoples, nations and religions in learning from one another and living together peacefully. The section supports civil society in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Before I worked as a Berlin-based project manager with the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation, an organisation established by both governments to nurture good neighbourly relations between both countries.

Since 2009 I am an active member of the Young DGAP (Young Professionals Programme within the German Council on Foreign Affairs) enabling and organising meetings, discussions and workshops with outstanding experts, politicians and international policy-makers.

Studying European Relations and socio-economic transformation, I co-edited books on German-Polish-neighbourhood and on cross-border cooperation between both countries.

For over 15 years I am working also as Project Manager for Gil Incentive- und Bildungsreisen in Heidelberg planning and organising study tours and MICE.
