About me

Development means future and the future will largely take place on the Internet. With this guiding principle in mind, I use the MSc in Cyber Security to prepare myself for the future and to be able to do my part for a better world. I have a university background in natural sciences (physics and geography) and have worked as a teacher in Germany. Since in my opinion the most important good is knowledge, I strive for a lifelong personal development in order to be able to support and advise others with the skills I have acquired.
