CURRENT MISSION

To go for it, to optimize, to always, always aim for awesome!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old currently living in Berlin. I work as a research at the Technische Universität, researching and writing about renewable energy policy and sustainable urban planning. I'm extremely interested and excited about ways to make the world a better place - sustainability in general - and I want to be part of making it happen. I'm a major foodie: I love growing food, cooking food, and eating it - especially with friends and new people. I occasionally work with a raw food chef here in Berlin, I cook and bake regularly for and with my friends, and I love to eat out. I'm also a major fan of the outdoors - I love camping, hiking, biking, running, swimming, laying in the sun, seeing the mountains and the trees. And I love the culture of cities - cafes, events, music, galleries . . . I'm excited to see and participate in these things in new places and with new people!

PHILOSOPHY

To relax and enjoy while always trying to make the world a better place. Corny, but true . . .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a standing Grizzly Bear from a few meters away, I've climbed a mountain high enough to hurt my lungs and freeze my eyelashes, I've founded a rotating grant fund for sustainability projects, I've helped cooked feasts for dozens . . . Sometimes the small things are the most amazing. I love my family and my friends, and I'm happy. That's amazing.
