I am student at Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland, studying international hospitality business, originally from Berlin, Germany. Having lived and studied in different countries, including the United States, I have developed an international perspective and a strong appreciation for different cultures and approaches to hospitality.

I gained practical experience through a six-month internship at The Ritz-Carlton Berlin, where I worked in Food & Beverage and experienced first-hand the importance of service excellence, attention to detail, teamwork and creating memorable guest experiences. Alongside my studies, I have developed strong organizational, communication and problem-solving skills through various professional experiences.

My academic interests include hospitality management, financial accounting, technology innovation and the future of the hospitality industry.

I enjoy exchanging perspectives, learning from people with different backgrounds and contributing new ideas. Through the Student Voices World Panel, I hope to share my experiences as a hospitality student while gaining insights from fellow students around the world and contributing to meaningful conversations about the industry’s future.
