2018 - 2024
During my time in high school it became clear that higher education was the right fit for me. However there was still one question, which field should I study. Mathematics, physics, economics and computer science came to my mind initially. After some research I found information systems. It seemed to be the perfect program for me as it combined economics and computer science. I later learned that I was much more than that, which deepened my interest in the field even more.
So in 2018, I enrolled at the University of Bamberg for the bachelor program of information systems. During my first year I met so many new people which shared and also challenged my interests. We laughed, studied and shared moments together. I was motivated. I loved learning new thing. Among those I learned how systems are created, how to code properly and how to manage projects.
It is March 2020, I am about to start my fourth semester and the world just stopped. The university closed their building and a curfew was in place. I found myself, as many others, confined to my apartment. Although I was one of the more fortunate as I had a gaming PC at home which I could use for social interaction with other people but those were not the people I knew from university. My motivation also dropped during this time. So I took fewer courses per semester. It was at this time when I wanted to still do something and I enrolled in a Spanish course which I attended for 5 semesters to B2 level (I wouldn't even in the slightest call myself a B2 Spanish speaker).
After I finished all my bachelors courses it was time to write my bachelor's thesis. I struggled in finding a fitting topic and to be honest I was scared. So I pushed starting it back. To not feel entirely useless in the mean time I just took masters courses to explore which area suits me. In February 2024 I turned my thesis on 'Conception of a Tool with optimized Breakout Rooms: Insights from a Design Science Study' in and received my diploma in April.
