"Everyone has a right to an adequate standard of living, housing and health care. That's why we go to court. Our goal: fundamental decisions that translate the welfare state imperative into individual and enforceable rights - and enable all people to participate in society."

In particular, she handles cases in the areas of social participation, migration, anti-discrimination and non-profit. Previously, she spent six years as a social human rights officer at Bread for the World, where she worked in national and international networks on business and human rights. She studied law in Hamburg. During her legal clerkship, as a research assistant in the Hamburg Parliament and in voluntary consulting, her focus was on migration and asylum law.
