I am passionate about developing projects. I am keen on taking responsibility for people, finances and processes. To form ideas, structures, relationships. For many years now, I have been responsible for projects in the areas of migration, integration and diversity.

I do this work because I am grateful to live in a society in which diversity is possible. Because I know, deep down, that peace can not be taken for granted. Humanity needs to be fought for - with other people and with ourselves. Over and over again.
