After completing my training as an industrial clerk, I studied Business Education with a focus on Business Administration and Industrial Management at the University of Hamburg. I then completed my teacher training at the Vocational School for Business in Eimsbüttel. Subsequently, I moved to the vocational school with a vocational high school on Kieler Straße, which later merged with the St. Pauli Vocational School. Since 2017, I have been the Head of the Vocational School Department for Legal Professions.
