Passionate About Social Impact | Program Coordination & Community Building | Advocate for Structural Change

I am passionate about driving social change by creating spaces for learning, collaboration, and innovation. With a background in social sciences - focusing on gender, sociology, and cultural studies - I have developed a deep understanding of structural inequalities and systemic challenges. My academic journey has shaped the way I approach complex societal issues and strengthened my ability to think critically and act strategically.

As Country Coordinator for Social Impact Award Austria, I lead the program’s implementation in Austria. My role includes:
➡️ Designing and executing workshops, events, and incubation programs that empower young changemakers
➡️ Managing partnerships and volunteer collaborations to strengthen Austria’s social impact ecosystem
➡️ Representing SIA Austria in public and within the global SIA network

My work is driven by a commitment to diverse, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable social innovation. I believe that systemic change happens through collective action, and I enjoy bringing together people, ideas, and resources to create meaningful impact.

Beyond my professional role, I am actively engaged in feminist advocacy as part of feminist Attac, where I contribute to discussions and actions on gender justice and social equity.

✨I’m always open to connecting with like-minded individuals, exchanging ideas, and exploring new opportunities in social entrepreneurship, community building, and impact-driven work. Let’s connect and make a difference together!
