Education

I was born in 1973 and studied theatre in Munich. I then completed a PhD in Mainz with a guest residency at the University of Texas/Austin, which I completed in 2002/03 with distinction and the university prize for the best dissertation.

Elsewhere

During my studies I worked as a guest director and freelance assistant director at numerous theatres (e.g. Grillo-Theater Essen, Staatsoper München, Oper Zürich) and festivals (e.g. at the young singers’ festival Opera in the Ozarks in Arkansas/USA). During my doctoral degree I was involved in several conferences in the field of PR and organisation and was also the managing director of Projekt Geist & Wirtschaft e.V. in Mainz.

In the 2002/03 season, I was assistant to the press department and personal assistant to the artistic director at Staatstheater Mainz. From 2003 to 2006 I was a fundraiser at the Nationaltheater Mannheim, where I was responsible for sponsoring of the four-part theatre and was involved in the organisation of various festivals, such as Internationale Schillertage.

JES and me

Since the 2006/07 season, I have been head of administration and organisation at Junges Ensemble Stuttgart. Since 2008, I have been a regular lecturer in the programme for further education in theatre and orchestra management at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, and since 2020, I have been a lecturer on contract law at Schauspielschule Stuttgart / Hochschule für Musik & Darstellende Kunst.
