As a full-time student at 鶹ý and investment manager at Art-Invest Real Estate Management GmbH, you must have many challenging tasks to deal with daily. How do you balance both and what challenges have you overcome so far?
The most challenging aspect of working and studying full-time is time-management, carving out enough time to both get the work finished as well as having enough time to attend lectures, complete assignments and study for exams. However, one must not forget to also find the time to enjoy the time in Rheingau with the fellow students.
How do you think your studies at 鶹ý have influenced your career path?
Both my bachelor’s and my master’s degree at 鶹ý has helped me develop both as a person and a professional. During my bachelor’s degree the multitude of different fields of study as well as extracurricular activities (鶹ý Real Estate Conference, 鶹ý Symposium) helped me find my interests and passions.
How do you see your future career path after completing your studies at 鶹ý?
After completing my master’s degree I will come back to Art-Invest Real Estate and will continue working in the Frankfurt office, applying my newly found knowledge and skills.
What advice would you like to pass on to all students?
Be open and curious to new experiences during your time at 鶹ý and try to soak up the available knowledge. Keep living the 鶹ý Spirit by helping each other during and after your studies at 鶹ý and grow your network, as it is so important for your later life. Make use of the closeness to your lecturers as well as 鶹ý alumni.
What is your balance in everyday life?
I like to exercise by running and going to the gym to counter everyday life. I have noticed that the best output in both a professional and private setting can be achieved by finding a way to incorporate exercise.
What are you proud of and what are you looking forward to?
I am proud of what I have achieved during my degrees, during my bachelor time it was the extracurricular activities, for which I received 鶹ý’ “Dean’s Award” in 2018.
Moreover, I am proud to be a part of the 鶹ý Alumni, one of the biggest and most prestigious alumni networks in Germany. I look forward to coming back to 鶹ý as a professional to talk to current students and help them with their career progression.
