Work

My previous work experiences include internship positions at the Fund for Global Human Rights (Washington D.C.) and the United Nations (New York City) and a Schuman Traineeship position at the European Parliament (Brussels). I was also an associate fellow at the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy and worked as a Community Engagement Manager at the Austrian Daily, Der Standard. In 2020, I co-founded the youth platform Quo Vademus.

Currently, I am a board member at the American Friends of the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance, an organisation associated with the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW), a research centre focusing on resistance and persecution during the Nazi era, Nazi crimes, and right-wing extremism since 1945. 

Below, you find an overview of my ongoing academic work engagements, projects I contributed to, and public outreach activities.
