My "Now Section"

This page gives a short overview over what I am doing at this point in my life.More information on 'now pages'

My background 💼

I am a third-year Informatics student at the Technical University of Munich, where I am tutoring a programming course and work as a research scholar at the TUM Junge Akademie.
I am part of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes, Germany's largest scholarship foundation.On the side, I work as a self-employed Graphic Designer at Jacer. I am open to new clients (just send me a message).✧ ✧ ✧Currently, I am exploring my interests, mostly through internships and seminars, ranging from:

  • politics (completed an internship in the German Bundestag in September 2023) and

  • journalism (completed an internship at German newspaper taz - die tageszeitung from January to April 2024, where I wrote multiple texts and moderated two panels, as well as a two-week internship at M94/5, Munich's student-run radio station) to

  • city planning (participated in an excursion to cities that are often named Germany's ugliest to understand why this happened and how it can be fixed).

I am also part of BCG's Future Shaper class24 and McKinsey's Firsthand program, and interested in startups, education and new technologies.I am losely involved with the ideas of Effective Altruism, especially when it comes to the career planning of 80,000 Hours.

Hobbies 🚲

In my freetime, I go biking, like cooking and enjoy improv (though I only rarely have the time to participate). I like to discuss new ideas, especially around politics, philosophy and utopias.

Future plans 🌟

In the soon future, I would like to:

  • become more active in politics

  • do more internships
    (currently, I am especially interested in either consulting, a TV studio or a (political) think tank)

  • work on a Charity Entrepreneurship charity idea or found a startup (for which I am still ideating)

  • do an exchange semester abroad

  • do teaching more often, in some form or another (preferably high school or on a university level)

  • engage more actively with philosophical questions and theories

I am always looking for new ideas and opportunities, and interested in meeting new people. Don't hesitate to reach out!
