During my studies in Optometry  at Berliner Hochschule für Technik and Glasgow Caledonian University, I  gained insights into clinical and scientific research through my  involvement in the LIFE study at Leipzig University. After graduating, I joined Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, where I  work in the research group of Prof. Dr. Frederike Oertel in the field of Translational Immunology.
