Personal note:

With solid experience in process design and political consulting with a focus on political participation, I research and advise on the topics of social-ecological transformation in cities, (digital) commons and organizational development. With a transdisciplinary approach I work at the interface between organized civil society, politics, administration, and science. My research interest lies in the public discussion and politicization of urban digitization processes. My professional competencies are transdisciplinary and practice-led research, strategic planning, methods of organizational and thematic project development.
