Young sustainability professional with a passion for the food and textile industry inspired by the circular economy. Given my international experiences from the hospitality industry and dedicated, communicative and authentic personality I see each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow and am inspired by how far the right mindset can take you. 

I was born in a small village in Switzerland and spent a lot of time outside in the nature when growing up. With my wide-ranging interests and language skills, I have decided to study at the EHL Business school in Lausanne to focus on an interdisciplinary approach. 

Only later on, after having spent several years in the hospitality industry, I have decided to follow my passion and personal interests in creating a more sustainable future and graduated with a Master's degree in Environment and Natural Resources in January 2025 at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). With my major in agroecology and sustainable food systems and several project works in the textile sector I further expanded my broad skillset. 

Meanwhile studying I am applying my knowledge as a consultant and project manager accompanying firms on their sustainability journey be it with strategy development, reporting or just guiding them to reach their goals towards a more sustainable future.
