Bio

As a child of the world, I've embraced a nomadic life, wandering through Asia, Europe, and North America. My journey is driven by a deep curiosity to explore diverse knowledge systems, always seeking a deeper understanding of myself, others, nature, and the universe.

At the crossroads of German and Chinese studies, my work shines a light on modern and contemporary literature, with a special focus on (eco)feminism and (post)colonialism.

Beyond academia, I work as an astrologist on the side, guided by a belief in spiritual wisdom. I also love to express myself through creative writing, oil painting, photography, and dancing.
