As a lecturer I am dedicated to teaching and supporting students at all levels of the undergraduate and graduate programmes. I am module coordinator for the 'Introduction to Linguistics' module together with Dr. Lucia Siebers. I spent my student years at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, where I obtained both a teaching qualification in secondary education (Staatsexamen for English, Spanish and French) and a Magister Artium degree in English and Romance Philology. Following my studies, I worked as a linguistic consultant in the UK. After completing my dissertation with Professors Bernd Kortmann and Christian Mair, I joined the Department of Anglophone Studies at Duisburg-Essen, first at the chair of Prof. Raymond Hickey. I am now part of the team of Prof. Birte Bös. Personally, I am a linguist with all my heart. I think there is nothing more fascinating than human language, and I marvel every day anew at the language that surrounds us.
