After graduating from high school, I spent a year in California and attended Los Medanos College in Pittsburg. On my return to Germany, I began my Bachelor's degree in European Studies at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. During my bachelor's, I studied abroad for a semester at Hendrix College in Arkansas. After graduating, I moved to Austria and studied psychology for two semesters at the Alpen-Adria-University in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee.
