    START Munich is the city’s leading student-led entrepreneurship hub, connecting ambitious talent with the startup ecosystem. I’ve loved being part of this community—first as a member, then co-leading our marketing efforts for a year, and now continuing as a member to stay connected with the "STARTies". Key projects I’ve worked on: Road to START Hack: Developed the brand identity, concept, and website. Road to START Summit: Built and managed the event website. ISAR Unfiltered: Currently managing the brand, social media, and communications strategy. Recruitment Campaigns: Led the messaging and web strategy for our talent intake to attract the next generation of founders. Once a STARTie, always a STARTie 💙
