With more than two years of experience in education as a language teacher, I have gained strong organisational, communication and leadership skills. My proficiency in English and French, along with my experience in educational administration, coordinating schedules and organising events besides communication inside and outside the classroom, equips me with valuable skills for administrative roles.

Alongside my studies, I gained valuable experience as an administrative assistant during an internship at a literary agency. I managed client communications via email and phone, handled and organised incoming mail, and completed various administrative tasks such as preparing contracts, tracking their progress, and keeping charts up to date. Working both independently and as part of a team of literary agents, I developed strong organisational and communication skills.

As an Administrative Assistant to a professor in the English Studies faculty at LMU, I gained valuable experience in remote administrative support. My responsibilities included managing online tasks such as updating educational websites and handling transcripts with accuracy and confidentiality. This role strengthened my skills in digital organisation and independent problem-solving as well as working within specific deadlines.

For two months, I could gain international teaching experience at one of the top private schools in Scotland. My responsibilities included assisting other language teachers during their German lessons, providing one-on-one tutoring to support students learning German and managing communication between Dollar Academy and its German partner school. This experience strengthened my ability to adapt to diverse environments, to collaborate effectively across cultures and to teach German as a foreign language.

During a one-week internship at Siemens, I gained valuable insights into the field of Human Resources. I had the opportunity to observe key HR processes and support the team in various small administrative tasks. My responsibilities included assisting with document management, organising employee records and participating in team meetings.
