I am a PhD-trained scientist with a strong background in Epigenetics and nearly a decade of experience bridging the gap between life science research and strategic communication. After earning my PhD from the University of Regensburg in 2016, I joined Active Motif, where I currently serve as a Scientific Consultant and Podcast Host within the Marketing Department.

At Active Motif, I work at the intersection of science and communication — translating complex epigenetics topics for a broad audience. I initiated and produce The Epigenetics Podcasts, a podcast that features Key Opinion Leaders in the field of Epigenetics and highlights cutting-edge research. In addition to content development, I work extensively with Salesforce.com to manage customer engagement, including quote generation, case handling, and dashboard reporting.

Driven by curiosity and a focus on optimization, I apply AI tools to enhance efficiency and clarity in both professional and personal projects. In my current role, I’ve used AI-assisted Python scripting to automate routine processes and improve team workflows. One example is a sales data analysis tool I developed for Key Account Managers, which presents performance KPIs in a clear, browser-based dashboard—supporting better strategic decisions.

Outside of work, I’m a dedicated marathon and trail runner, having completed seven major marathons including New York, Berlin, and London. I bring the same persistence and long-term focus to my professional life. As a side project, I built an AI-powered platform to catalog all peaks in the Bavarian Forest, combining data visualization and Python scripting with my passion for trail running. This project is now integrated into my personal running website.
