Prior to joining Technopolis Group, she has worked as a student research assistant at the Excellence Cluster ‘The Politics of Inequality’ at the University of Konstanz, where she undertook research and data analysis tasks for the ‘Inequality Barometer’ publication as well as for studies on inequality perceptions in the face of the green and digital transformation. She has also completed internships in the ‘Democracy’ unit of the Robert Bosch Stiftung, where she contributed to developing the cross-border citizen participation programme ‘Common Ground’ with Germany’s border regions, and at the Permanent Representation of Austria to the EU, with a particular focus on the topics subordinated to the Political and Security Committee.
