I am a post-doc researcher, media educator, and educational designer based in Berlin. My academic background bridges Industrial Engineering and Science and Technology Studies, grounding my work in both technical and socio-cultural perspectives.

With a background in software development and extensive experience in Open Youth Work, I design and study enhanced learning environments that integrate technology with critical pedagogical practices. My research explores narrative and game-based learning, digital storytelling, inclusive instructional design, new literacies, and the evolving role of AI in education.

In my teaching, I lead research seminars for teacher students during their practice semester, using collaborative approaches like design-based research to guide them through real-world challenges in education.
