Interests: Running, web development, programming, photography, politics, music, staying in shape, learning new things, reading (classic literature, philosophy, fiction, non-fiction), constantly challenging myself and travelling to new destinations.
Volunteering: From October 2015, until December 2016 I was volunteering in Greece and Lebanon, during the migration crisis. This involved e.g. contributing to establishing a new NGO (Northern Lights Aid), controlling and coordinating distributions in crisis areas, performing crisis emergency aid and co-ordinating teams of volunteers in emergency situations. Here, I worked for several different grassroot NGOs (Drop in the Ocean, Northern Lights Aid, Intervolve), and found myself thriving in stressful and difficult working environments.

What makes me unique?: I have all my adult life had a constant drive to put myself in new and potentially uncomfortable situations. This started with going on an exchange year in high school and eventually brought me into several interesting new settings, such as volunteering in refugee camps, studying abroad, debating with Ivy League students at prestigious conferences and even working for a green energy company in Madagascar.
