Career

After completing my Abitur (secondary school leaving examination) at the Vöhlin-Gymnasium Memmingen (2005) and my community service, I began my studies in vocational teacher education at the Technical University of Munich (2006–2011), graduating as a Diplom-Berufspädagoge (Diploma in Vocational Education) with the subject combination of Metal Technology and Construction Technology. I completed my teacher traineeship (Referendariat, 2012–2014) at the Staatliches Studienseminar in Bavaria, at the school sites in Kempten, Immenstadt and Memmingen. Until 2025, I taught at the Johann-Bierwirth-Schule in Memmingen in the Metal and Construction Technology department as well as in the affiliated technical college for mechanical engineering. As part of the continuing professional development initiative "Digital Transformation / Economy 4.0" run by the ALP Dillingen, I work as an instructor in the Robotics working group. Since 2019, I have been seconded as a research associate to the Professorship of Technical Education for Vocational Teaching at TU Munich (partial secondment 2019–2024, full secondment from 2025), where my responsibilities include the subject- and technology-specific didactic professional development of student teachers, and where I am involved in various research projects.
