Co-Founder of BYTE Challenge

In my full-time job at IBM as an Application Consultant, I developed the innovative continuation of our IBM internal Cloud Services & User Management administration tools for various project software. 
I also work in the TalentAdvisor working groups to make IBM more attractive as an employer. Of course, I am also involved in internal activities for students and pupils and support the planning of events.

Associate Application Consultant & Lead of the WomenInTech DACH

German Informatics Society

Within the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (German Informatics Society), I was able to achieve a lot in 2020 - 2022. As the spokesperson for the Young GI and board member, I brought the perspectives of GenZ into the association. 
As a speaker, I was able to help many people find their way, inspire them to get involved and strengthen their self-confidence. For instance, I started a series of events, the "STEM GIrls", which attracted over 350 registrations in the first year. The events serve to empower, find strengths and prepare young women and non-binaries for the professional world. 
I have also initiated and implemented over 33 digital events in these two years, including with companies such as IBM, Huawei Germany, McKinsey & Company, Netlight, Microsoft, Snowflake and Github.
