Within the Merchant Operations team I am owning a diverse portfolio of international brands for which I was the first contact regarding all article lifecycle topics and management of their products, to steer their individual assortment and improve their performance at best. Therefore regular contact with different internal as well as external stakeholders was daily business as well as analyzing and developing processes, tools and reporting.

As a Assistant Partnerprogram at Zalando SE, External Content Management, a team responsible for the multi-step onboarding process of partner brand articles, I was in charge of the prioritization, organisation and effective distribution of new-in articles within the team of around 20 internal and external employees, part of the quality assurance team and also an interim team lead in a time of restructuring.

In my latest studies I focused mainly on ecosystem protection, environmental law and the sustainability concepts. My master thesis covered the sustainability concept in the textile industry by analyzing/comparing different quality labels, their functions, significance and usage (grade 1.8).

My master studies was centered on plant sciences/systematic biology/theoretical ecology. Thesis: "An individual-based model of a semi-arid savanna ecosystem – Prediction of potential vegetation reactions on biological invasion of alien shrubs species under different climate scenarios" (grade 1.8).

The main study focus was placed on plant physiology, ecology and theoretical ecology. My thesis was written at the deportment of theoretical ecology, named "The influence of global change on functional plant traits along a nutrient gradient" (grade 1.0).
