Biography
I am an ecologist, musician and language educator based in Vienna.
As an ecologist with a focus on ornithology and wetland ecosystems, I have published research on reed birds at Lake Neusiedl. Attentive listening to natural soundscapes continues to shape my thinking.
As a musician, I write and produce my own songs and create arrangements, performing on guitar, trumpet, percussion and voice in a reflective, intimate style often inspired by nature. At the University of Vienna, I was awarded the Open Minds II Special Prize for creative science communication for transforming the concept of the Great Acceleration into a song.
Alongside science and music, I teach German and English with more than six years of experience, combining linguistic precision, creativity and cultural sensitivity in lessons tailored to the individual.
For me, language, music and ecology share the same foundation of patterns, relationships and connection. I believe that art and science belong together as spaces where curiosity, awareness and new ideas can grow.
