Having finished my Leisure and Tourism Management Studies in 2012 I felt the urge to look for a new way of learning and an opportunity to bring about positive changes. Since my first climbing course run by Naturefriends Tyrol I became enthusiastic about the movement.

Soon I became a climbing instructor myself and finished a youth coach training in order to get active in youth work. I love accompanying kids and youngsters at some stages of their lifes. Creating spaces for self-experience, encounters, friendships, fun and experiential learning is what drives and motivates me.

In 2014 I joined my first IYNF activity in beautiful Italy. The positive energy of the people there set me on fire. Since back then I’m highly motivated to carry on this spirit. IYNF is for me a perfect playground to shape spaces, possibilities and conditions for youth work on a higher level.

My personal motto: „If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.“ And Dare to begin! … Now!“
