MY PASSION ABOUT CODING

Word school in handwriting

I discovered my passion for programming after learning Java in 7th grade. Choosing biology over computer science later made me realize that coding could be my future.

Word university in handwriting

During my gap year, I explored media informatics online but preferred in-person learning. Now, I’m learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP at university to pursue my passion for web development.

Icon about networking

I’m fascinated about global connections, democracy, and AI ethics. Engaging internationally shaped my belief in empowering youth. Sports like skating and surfing keep me active and constantly growing.

I’m passionate about coding and travel. My goal is to work as a freelance web developer, exploring cultures and discovering the world.

My projects at university

Since September 2024, I’ve created hands-on multimedia projects every 1–2 weeks, reflecting active learning and creativity during university workshops.

My group created a Scratch game based on “Hansel and Gretel,” teaching kids the story. I managed the animations while players collect keys to free Gretel.

In two weeks, we redesigned Rouen Fine Arts Museum’s website, creating a new wireframe on Figma and coding the final version, also in responsive design, ourselves.

Over three weeks, our group created the blog "Gastro'Bordeaux," writing two articles focused on Bordeaux’s gastronomy, local restaurants, and the city’s sports scene.

My projects in associations

I’ve supported youth through charitable work, tutoring, and church activities. I remain active in regional youth politics, advocating for youth voices in Bavaria to help shape our collective future.

Since 2023 I have been responsible for the website of the umbrella organization of youth representatives in Bavaria on WordPress, keeping the content up to date and communicating with the members. I support the association in its mission to regroup all youth councils in Germany.

First I was responsible for communication and media, then as president of the Youth Parliament in my home town I learnt how to organise and hold meetings with the mayor and work in a group of 10 people on projects forour town for 2020-2023.
