What is most important to me about my job? Working with people and being able to teach them something that will leave a lasting impression on them for the rest of their lives. Taking responsibility for future-oriented and socially relevant topics such as climate protection – that is exactly my passion. I am a networker who designs and implements concepts. My strength is tying many threads together. As a project manager with strong communication skills, I burn for my heart’s issues. That’s why it’s easy for me to win over supporters in order to shape a good future together.
