My Work & Passion
Diversity Consulting
Are you looking for new impulses, creative ideas and perspectives on how to open yourself or your company or project to more diversity? Then feel free to contact me and have a look at my company website of the Diversity Factory!
Public Speaker
Far too little in today's fast-paced society do we listen to people and try to understand the very individual backgrounds that each person brings with them. That misunderstandings arise because of this or that this even causes fears is inevitable. I would like to take you on a small journey of my very personal story and set it into the larger context of our society.
Moderation
No matter if virtual or in front of a live audience, I really enjoy moderating. In the past two years, I have led very different audiences charmingly, with humor and eloquently through numerous shows, panel discussions and online streams.

Awards
Mr Gay Germany
2022
The election for Mr. Gay Germany is much more than just a beauty contest, because here the focus is actually on content. All final candidates have to create a community campaign and present it to a jury.
In December 2021, I was able to convince the jury with my campaign #ProudToBeAlive and was the first trans person to be awarded as Mr. Gay Germany.
