Create together. Grow together.

During my Political Science studies at Freie Universität Berlin, I had the opportunity to explore many of my questions around global justice, individual responsibility, and peace and conflict. Then, my search for a way to personally contribute to a more just society, I co-founded the QUINOA Secondary School, which works towards greater educational equity in a deprived part of Berlin.

In the process of setting up the school, I discovered the field of organisational development and, as part of an incredibly committed team, gradually built up and developed the organisational foundations underpinning school life. From there, I transitioned into (external) organisational development, including training in systemic consulting at isb Wiesloch in 2017-18. In the years since, I have supported a variety of very different organisations in their development processes – sometimes alone, often in cooperation with other organisational developers, coaches, or psychologists from my network.

While the focus of my work initially lay more on structures and processes, over the years I've learned to pay closer attention to the relationship level and the culture of collaboration. Further training in relationship-oriented consulting at InStability in Hannover in 2020-21 was helpful in this shift of focus. One aspect I chose to especially focus on and deepen is conflict, which led me to train as a mediation teacher at the Center for Understanding in Conflict in California in 2024. Today a core part of my work is supporting teams and organisation to work constructively with conflicts and increase conflict resolution skills, individual and collective.

Whether in navigating change processes or dealing with conflicts, I support teams and organisations with my knowledge and experience, curiosity, and above all loving attentiveness.
