I am passionate about how technology transforms the way we work and create value. While studying Information Systems (B.Sc. Wirtschaftsinformatik, M.Sc. IT Management and -Consulting, semester abroad at the University of St Andrews, UK), I gained hands-on experience in software development and enterprise architecture management. After graduating (2017), I worked at Deloitte Consulting, most recently as a Senior Consultant where I helped organizations leverage data, analytics, and Al through developing strategies, building agile teams, and establishing Al governance, across industries both in Germany and abroad. During my PhD (2021-2026), I focused on how individuals can benefit from generative Al and how it reshapes human behavior. I expanded this research during a stay at the University of South Florida in Tampa. In March 2026, I joined UZH as a PostDoc.
