I was born in 1983 in Heidelberg, West Germany. After studying politics in the U.K. and France and spending three years working in fashion publishing in Paris and London, I pursued an MA in documentary filmmaking at the National Film School (UK), where I trained with Kim Longinotto with a focus on cinéma vérité-descendent observational filmmaking. At present I attend the sculpture class of Isabel Nuño de Buen at the Braunschweig School of Art as well as the class of Candice Breitz from which I am about to graduate with a Master of Fine Arts.
