About

I combine analytical precision in laboratory work with dynamic teaching and knowledge transfer. With over 12 years in food analysis, microbiology, and science education, I have built expertise in laboratory management, regulatory compliance, and communicating complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences.
As a Master of Molecular Biotechnology and University Specialist in Ecoengineering with a water protection focus, I pursue innovative applications of science. My background in digital marketing and branding helps me translate technical expertise into accessible, engaging communications—an asset for roles at the intersection of science and education or industry.
