About

I first joined Osnabrück University as a research assistant in 2022. I worked on the project “SeReKo”, that aimed to promote the (self-)reflective skills of student teachers. After the project ended, I took some time to gain experience in teaching in vocational education and training outside the university. In January 2024, I returned to Osnabrück University. I am currently working on another research project called “BeConnect” that aims to professionalise teaching and training staff in various areas of vocational education and training by linking vocational and academic education. In addition to that, I am interested in the role of reflection and its relation to power in vocational education and training.

Experience in industry

I spent three and a half years as an undergraduate working in electrical engineering. During this time, I worked on various projects in safety engineering, mechanical engineering and automation. The company I worked for had plants around the word, which allowed me to work in culturally diverse teams. I also had the opportunity to work on an automation project in China for four weeks.
