Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Passionate about grassroots sport and Sport for Development, I work to harness the power of sport to create social, environmental, and diplomatic impact. With experience across local communities, international organizations, and strategic initiatives, I focus on fostering inclusion, sustainability, and positive change through sport. My work bridges the grassroots perspective with a broader understanding of the sports landscape, supporting policies, development programs, and collaborations that empower communities and strengthen the role of sport as a force for good.
