4 years and 1 month after I first set foot in the majestic Nieuwenhofklooster as an undergraduate student and ventured into the wild world of academia, I graduated!

Die #Militarisierung der EU, die @martinsonneborn@twitter.com in ungefähr jedem einzelnen seiner Interviews anspricht, lässt sich ja auch ganz praktisch fassen, wenn man z.B. ein bisschen in Fr. von der Leyens Portfolios stöbert:
Da wird einfach mal schnell in der #Kommission ein eigenes DG (read: Ministerium) für Rüstungsindustrie und Weltraum geschaffen. Ohne jegliches Aufsehen oder Aufmerksamkeit von Medien.
Und ein weiteres Stück Zeitgeschichte aus #Europa. Mind the abbreviation! #bundeswoerter

From 2017-2021 I studied Liberal Arts & Sciences at Maastricht University (UCM) where I focused on European Politics, EU Law, and Data Science.
topics that keep me busy:
- empowering youth participation
- advancing European democracy
- achieve world peace and save the planet
also am (or have been) at home in #JEF, #BDKJ, and the Green Youth movement across Europe :)
