MEDIENPÄDAGOGIK
People. Organizations. Technology.
I work where people, organizations, and technology meet. I make sense of complex developments, connect different perspectives, and turn them into practical next steps.
02 / PERSPECTIVE
New tools do not change the way an organization works on their own. They enter existing structures, roles, routines, expectations, and cultures.
Subject-matter experts, leadership, administration, and IT all need to figure out what is actually needed, who is responsible, and how a new technology can work in day-to-day practice.
I am interested not only in what technology can do, but in what change does to people. What creates clarity? What helps people feel capable of participating? Where do organizations need skills, rules, or boundaries?
My work often means bringing those perspectives together: understanding real-world needs, making connections visible, and working with the people who ultimately have to shape and sustain change.
03 / TOPICS
What happens when new technology meets established ways of working?
I look at roles, responsibilities, processes, and collaboration — and at how organizations can shape digital change in ways that actually improve everyday work.
Artificial intelligence sits somewhere between possibility, expectation, and the realities of organizational life.
My current product and project work includes requirements, implementation, pilots, governance, training, and adoption. The central question is what it takes to turn a technological capability into something people can use responsibly and effectively.
Media literacy is more than knowing how to operate a tool.
It is about orientation, judgment, and the ability to make informed decisions: understanding media, recognizing its effects, and remaining capable of acting in a rapidly changing digital environment.
That also means asking what helps people remain resilient in the face of overload, manipulation, misinformation, and a constant stream of new technologies.
What do media and emerging technologies do to people, society, and democracy?
Questions of participation, privacy, responsibility, power, and limits should not be addressed only after a technology has been introduced. They belong in the conversation from the start.
With AI in particular, the question is not simply what we can do, but what we should be willing to take responsibility for — and under what conditions.
04 / EXPERIENCE
My professional foundation comes from roughly two decades of educational practice, leadership, and organizational responsibility in early childhood education.
My work extended far beyond direct educational practice. It included leadership, people management, concept development, organizational responsibility, and responsibility for teams and institutions.
For me, leadership has always meant more than managing staff. It means providing direction, making decisions, bringing different interests together, developing concepts, and creating structures that work in real life.
That experience still shapes the way I think about change today.
Concept development and project-based work have been part of my professional life from the beginning. A systems-oriented view of people, teams, and organizations began shaping my work early on.
Long before “digital transformation” became everyday language, I was interested in what technology changes about the way we work: How do computers and digital tools change communication? What happens to processes, roles, and collaboration? What becomes easier — and what new questions emerge?
I have never viewed technology separately from the systems and people around it.
Media education became another major part of my work as my career developed.
For me, it has never been primarily about devices or applications. Media education deals with bigger questions:
How does media affect people? How do we build media literacy? What strengthens judgment and resilience? What responsibilities do education and society have? And what does a changing media environment mean for democratic life?
As digital technologies became more deeply embedded in everyday work, questions around processes, systems, project structures, and organizational development became increasingly important as well.
Today, those strands come together.
I work at the intersection of people, organizations, and technology — and, in practical terms, between subject-matter expertise, IT, administration, leadership, and the people who use technology every day.
As Product Owner / Project Lead for DRS KI, I connect real-world requirements with product and project work, including implementation, governance, training, and user needs.
Technology by itself is not what interests me most. I am interested in how people and organizations can make meaningful use of it.
My professional path has always involved continuous learning and development.
Education, leadership, organizational work, media education, systems thinking, digital change, and project work are not separate chapters for me. They are areas of expertise that have grown, changed, and increasingly connected over many years.
That development includes extensive professional training and continuing education, a two-year leadership development program, and additional training across educational, media, organizational, and digital fields.
Most recently, I completed the AI Business Development Manager certificate program (IHK).

In talks and presentations, I help audiences understand developments, see the connections between them, and place technology in the wider context of organizations, leadership, education, and responsibility.
In workshops, we work on concrete questions: What does a development mean for our organization? Where are the opportunities and limits? What do people need so that change is not only decided at the top, but understood and put into practice?
I also work selectively on advisory, analysis, and concept-development projects where an outside perspective can help connect different viewpoints and turn a complex situation into workable next steps.
06 / PERSONAL
MUSIC / CREATIVITY
I play bass, guitar, and blues harmonica. Music has been part of my life for many years — through bands and different projects, as well as through music education and early childhood music work.
I have also experienced the shift from analog to digital technology firsthand. Media and digital tools were never ends in themselves. They were things to use creatively, combine, experiment with, and make something from. I have never seen analog and digital as opposites.
Music is communication and collaboration. In bands and projects, things emerge together — with people who bring different ideas, skills, perspectives, and sometimes very different views of where things should go.
That way of working continues to shape me: stay curious, experiment, connect analog and digital, develop ideas with other people, and leave room for approaches that may not be obvious at first.
Not every good idea arrives fully formed. Sometimes the solution appears only once people start making something together.
