Biography

I made a conscious decision to pursue further studies after completing my high school diploma, driven by the desire to share my knowledge as a lector. Initially, my interests led me to the field of biology and biotechnology. I earned a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's diploma in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. Subsequently, I spent some time teaching as a biology lector in a secondary school.

I then shifted my focus to the field of healthcare, gaining several years of valuable practical experience as a healthcare assistant in care homes in Styria, Austria, working directly with patients. This was followed by my training to become a certified health and nursing professional at the University of Applied Sciences in Vienna. I went on to accumulate additional years of professional and managerial experience in advanced health and nursing services within hospital departments. I also served as a residential area manager in a senior center in Lower Austria. In 2020, I embarked on my teaching journey in this field, and in 2022, I joined the University of Applied Sciences in Vienna, Austria, as both a lector and researcher.
