I am a DPhil Politics Student at the Department of Politics and International Relations, under the supervision of Professor Jane Green. In my doctoral studies, I aim to examine potential measures to increase political representation of young individuals in democracies and ultimately enhance intergenerational justice.

Prior to the DPhil, I studied Psychology (BSc) and Sociology (BA) at University of Innsbruck and continued my Sociology studies (MSc) at University of Oxford. Most recently, I worked at Boston Consulting Group.

Parallel to my studies, I am engaged at ‘Club Alpbach Tirol’ of the European Forum Alpbach – a conference which connects politicians with young individuals.
