What makes a good day? A surprising conversation with a stranger, a smile from a person I care about, a round of yoga to feel my neurons tingle and a dose of 100% dark chocolate. I try to not take life too seriously, which seems to make me focus with intense amusement on the projects that fill my life. Oh, and it's likely you'll find me in a handstand!

-So far, I've moved around a bit: born in Austria, toddler years on Huntington Beach in sunny California, junior school near Munich, middle school in the little German city with the longest castle in the world. Sixth Form wearing a tie near London, couple of months learning 中文 in Shanghai. Bachelor's degree in physics from ETH in Zurich... It's been a journey and it's all but over. I am thankful for this privilege and try to put the things I've learned along the road to good use.

Bachelor's degree in physics from ETH in Zurich, now finishing my Master's in Canada interspersed with an internship with QuEra Computing Inc. in Boston... It's been a journey and it's all but over.

<li>During my first semesters, I became increasingly involved in the <a href="https://ssc.ethz.ch/"> Student Sustainability Commission</a>. There, my work focused on creating a community to bundle the motivation of individual students from all disciplines.</li>
<li> Similarly, I asked the more specific question of <i>"How can physicists contribute to solving the climate crisis?"</i>. To generate discussion in our own physics department, I organized the <a href="https://www.phys.ethz.ch/the-department/sustainability/nhw2021.html"> Sustainability Week @DPHYS 2021</a> and launched an <a href="https://www.phys.ethz.ch/news-and-events/internal-news/d-phys-intern/2021/06/klima-ich-habe-keine-zeit-gilt-nicht.html">interview series</a>.</li>
<li>I also discussed in depth how to achieve a net-zero university with staff from all corners of ETH - the finance and infrastructure department, ETH Foresight and the ETH Air Travel Project, professors working on carbon capture... These discussions converged in my final semester in spring 2021, when we wrote the internal white paper <i>ETH NettoNull</i> for the Executive Board. <a href="https://ethz.ch/services/en/news-and-events/internal-news/archive/2021/12/eth-sustainability-to-be-realigned.html">First steps</a> towards its implementation are being made. (Personally, I hope the board will be more bold in coming months)</li>
- <li>Before graduating from ETH, I wanted to pass this conviction on to future students. Hence, I pulled together <a href="https://ssc.ethz.ch/assets/earth_magazine.pdf">The EarTH Magazine - Edition Cooperation</a>. Stories of teamwork, compiled from all levels of ETH.
