Experience

As a biologist and high school teacher with over seven years of experience, I combine scientific expertise with a passion for clear communication and design. My background in Biology, Biotechnology, and Computer Science allows me to create resources that are both scientifically accurate and visually engaging. Every worksheet, activity, or digital resource is carefully designed to make complex topics accessible and enjoyable to teach. I usually teach in German, but English is the language I use most in my private life — which helps me connect with educators worldwide.

Teaching style

My teaching focuses on helping students understand complex scientific concepts through clear explanations, hands-on experiments, and digital tools. I integrate creative design, coding, and data visualization into my lessons to make science engaging, accessible, and relevant.

My own education history

Originally trained as a biologist specializing in bacterial genetics and molecular evolution, I’ve always been passionate about understanding and explaining science. That passion led me to become a full-time high school teacher and earn my teaching degree. Along the way, I completed a university degree in Computer Science, which allows me to merge science, technology, and design. Over the years, I’ve refined my skills in design, layout, vector graphics, and desktop publishing — enabling me to create professional, visually engaging, and clearly structured teaching resources that bring scientific concepts to life.
