Looking back, it was actually quite clear at an early stage which professional path I would eventually take. Even at a young age, I was captivated by nature in all its facets and the science behind it. With a broader insight into biology through school teaching and relevant internships, I was finally fascinated. The idea matured to be able to help people with my work - in whatever form that might take.

One of the biggest challenges was my professional training course to become a state-certified biotechnician, which I completed alongside my full-time job. My aspiration here was to meet the highest standards in all areas. Furthermore, the operational demands are constantly increasing, with new systems being introduced and new lines and products established. A transformation that demands a lot but also fosters personal development.
