Born near Dortmund, I studied in Konstanz, at Rutgers (New Jersey), and at Leipzig University, where I completed my Magister degree in 2001. Since, I have been teaching American literature at the Institute and I work on my doctoral thesis on ‘The Cultural Work of Shopping Malls.’ I have a passion for movies, good chocolate, and running.
