I am currently in my seventh and final semester of a dual Bachelor’s degree in Tourism Management, specializing in Hotel Management. My practical training takes place at Le Méridien Frankfurt, part of the international hotel group Marriott International.

Throughout my studies, I have gained valuable hands-on experience across various operational and administrative departments, including Food & Beverage, Front Office, Purchasing, Human Resources, Finance & Accounting, and Sales & Marketing. These diverse experiences have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of hotel operations, guest relations, and the dynamics of working in an international hospitality environment.

I am currently completing my Bachelor’s thesis, combining the theoretical knowledge gained at university with my practical experience in the hospitality industry.

My passion lies in the tourism and hospitality industry, particularly its international character, cultural diversity, and wide range of career opportunities. My personal enthusiasm for international travel further strengthens this passion. I am especially motivated by the opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds, embrace new challenges, and continuously develop both personally and professionally within this dynamic industry.
