My professional background
Before I successfully completed my diploma course in law, I started working as a legal advisor and representative for asylum seekers; from February 2013 to February 2018 I was head of the legal department of the NGO „
Asyl in Not“.
Since 2015, when a particularly large number of people applied for asylum in Austria and human rights came under increasing pressure due to political developments, I give lectures and hold workshops on asylum and aliens‘ law. In 2016, my manual on asylum law „Asylrecht kompakt“ was published, which is now available in a second edition.
My doctors degree of law, in which I specialize in freedoms and human rights, is about to be completed. In addition to my legal work, I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in history – to compensate for my legal work and convinced, that dealing with the past helps to cope with today’s problems and dangers.
