Hello Welcome to my website!
I am currently pursuing a Master’s in History at both the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Germany) and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales Paris (France) through a bilateral program offered by the Franco-German University (DFH). Beyond my academic journey, I am deeply passionate about science communication. This page provides an opportunity to learn more about my background and ongoing work.
Profile
In the spring of 2022, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science for secondary school teaching at the University of Heidelberg. In October 2022, I began my Master’s in the Franco-German History program, which led me to spend a year in Paris, followed by another year at the University of Oregon, USA. Throughout my studies, I developed a deep passion for both the academic exploration of my fields and the challenge of making complex ideas accessible to a wider audience. For me, sharing knowledge is a societal responsibility—communication, after all, builds bridges. You can find more details about my academic and professional journey in my CV.
Research
During my Bachelor’s degree, I wrote several term papers in both history and political science, with a particular focus on Franco-German and transatlantic topics, both historical and contemporary. My interdisciplinary Bachelor’s thesis, titled “Role Conflicts in the Fronde: Condé and Mazarin 1648-1653,” explored political dynamics during this turbulent period in French history.
I continue pursuing modern historical themes in my research project as part of the three-year trilateral Master’s program. My project focuses on German-speaking engagés active in the French colonies of Louisiana (1720) and French Guiana (1763), addressing questions in Atlantic Studies, migration history, early modern colonial history, and subaltern studies.

VoyageOregon-Blog
Everyone needs a hobby, and mine is writing. Influenced by my travel-loving parents, I began exploring the world at an early age. A personal family connection to the state of Oregon inspired me to launch my travel blog, VoyageOregon.com, a few years ago. During my year abroad in Oregon in 2023/24, I gathered numerous ideas and inspirations that I eagerly weave into my blog, enriching my storytelling and travel insights.
