About

With a background in health psychology and a Master’s degree in sport psychology from the German Sport University Cologne, I combine scientific insight with hands-on experience in elite sports. I currently pursue my passion for sportpsychology working together with the U15 team of 1.FC Köln. Starting with education about sportpsychology, workshops in group-settings and supporting individual athletes in 1:1 coachings regarding e.g. mental performance training, mindset, and (dual-)career development. In parallel, I’ve gained substantial experience in HR consulting – especially in recruiting, employee wellbeing and talent development. This unique combination allows me to support people holistically: whether they’re aiming to perform at their best in sports, business, or life in general.
