She studied biology at the University of Münster and gained a Ph.D. in biochemistry (2008) from the University of Stuttgart. She worked for Procter & Gamble from 2007 to 2009 but then moved to become first a fellow and then a manager with Teach First Deutschland.[1][2] She joined the SPD in 2010 and was elected to the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin in 2016, representing the "Central 7 [de]" constituency which is centred on Wedding.[1][3]
