About

I have broadened my passion for systems, organisations, and engines by studying Aerospace Engineering at Bachelor of Science level and combined it with my professional sailing career to gain a multiangular vision. As the next step on my path, I would like to build and root my prospective career in the corporate sector, where I wish to blend my on-site and theoretical knowledge together.
