ABOUT ME

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can choose to change the world”

Like Nelson Mandela, I firmly believe that education can change the world.

As an educational scientist and educator, I focus on shaping individual and institutional learning processes within the context of global change and continuity. My work is grounded in a transdisciplinary approach that bridges research and practice, science and consultancy. For me, the human being — embedded within social and institutional systems — is the key starting point for learning and development.

My areas of work and research include educational concepts related to Global Learning, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and (neuro)diversity and heterogeneity across schools, policymaking, and civil society. With well-established regional expertise in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, I work not only in Germany but also internationally.

Als freiberufliche Bildungsberaterin (Systemische Beraterin DGSF i.A.) gestalte ich Fortbildungen für Lehrkräfte sowie Fach- und Führungskräfte an der Schnittstelle Schule, Staat und Zivilgesellschaft. Ich evaluiere und begleite [international ausgerichtete] Organisationen und Bildungsprogramme bei der Integration sozialer Nachhaltigkeit und globaler Perspektiven.

What Shapes Me

Ich bin in einem Dorf in der Fränkischen Schweiz fernab von akademischem Habitus und Internationalität aufgewachsen. Bis heute bin ich die einzige in meiner ganzen Familie (alle Generationen), die Abitur gemacht hat.
Nach vielen Reisen und Umzügen hat es mich 2020 in meine Geburtsstadt Bamberg gezogen. Ich bin KRI-zertifizierte Kundalini-Yogalehrerin, überzeugte Systemikerin in allen Lebensbereichen und setze ich nicht nur beruflich, sondern auch ehrenamtlich für globale Solidarität ein.
