I am a junior researcher in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, PhD-Student in Management & Economics and Hanns-Seidel-Stiftungs stipendiary. After my Bachelor and Master studies in Management and Social Sciences, I first worked in different academic projects and finally started a Ph.D. program at the Free University of Bolzano. I am currently researching startups as strategic vehicles in the corporate innovation process and with a strong focus on practical and eco-social relevance. In my free time, I am interested in political and social issues, read a lot and do a lot of sports - preferably in the nature of the Allgäu or South Tyrolean mountain landscape.

INNOVATION in my mind, SUSTAINABILITY in my heart!
