I was born and grew up in the neighbourhood of Cologne/Germany. I moved to Vienna/Austria for my veterinary studies (2008-2014). After graduation I finished my doctoral thesis about contrast ultrasonography in thoracic mass lesions in dogs and cats (2014-2017). In 2017 I moved to Ghent/Belgium for my Small Animal Diagnostic Imaging Residency under supervision of Dr. Elke Van der Veken, Dr. Emmelie Stock and Prof.Jimmy Saunders. After finishing my Residency and getting my ECVDI diploma I moved back to Germany to work and live there.
