Über mich
As part of a generation that wants to see a change in the world towards more sustainability as well as more social justice and equality, I’m developing my career in the field of renewable energy, natural resources and social development. I’m specialized and qualified especially in solar energy, wind- and solar resource measurement, off-grid photovoltaic, rural development and I‘m experienced in intercultural communication. My vision for the future is to work in the field of planning international renewable energy projects at small and large-scale, including resource measurement, project design, coordination and management. I consider myself as an open-minded, trilingual (German, Spanish, English) person with international experience (in particular Africa and Latin America) and cultural awareness that loves traveling and expanding her horizons and that is looking for constant personal development and for acquiring knowledge and skills.
