I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover in 2023 and subsequently completed a small animal rotating internship before joining the Department of Ophthalmology at the same institution in 2024. There, I completed my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Dr Claudia Busse, who also supervises my residency training, which I began in June 2026. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, particularly observing wildlife and birds.
