Eine unfassbar große Ehre an dieser Veranstaltung teilnehmen zu dürfen und wundervolle, inspirierende Frauen treffen zu dürfen. 💛🫶🏽🙏🏽

Gleichberechtigung betrifft uns alle und verdient endlich auch im alltäglichen Leben die entsprechende Aufmerksamkeit. 🚀

Damit Gleichberechtigung funktioniert müssen beide Geschlechter daran arbeiten und sich dafür einsetzen.
Es ist noch ein sehr weiter Weg, insbesondere in der Medizin, wo nur 10% der Frauen die Führungsetage besetzen. Wir haben seit mehr als 10 Jahren mehr weibliche Absolventinnen als männliche Absolventen in der Medizin. Dennoch zeigt sich keine prozentuale Änderung in der Führungsebene. Wir müssen Strukturen und systematische Hindernisse verändern, um es Frauen in der Medizin zu ermöglichen Karriere und Familie zu vereinen.
Danke @frauen.100 für diesen wundervollen Abend 🙏🏽

It’s not about who you stand next to. It’s about who you become. ✨

At some point, you realize that success isn’t about proximity to greatness, but about creating your own.

Become someone your younger self would look up to. Build your own story. Leave your own mark.

Don’t chase significance. Create it.

GAC 360° — 3 Days. Countless Memories. ✨

Some moments are too beautiful to put into words. So I’ll let these pictures tell the story. 📸

Behind every unforgettable moment are people who gave their time, energy, passion, and heart to make something extraordinary happen.

“The most extraordinary things happen when people dare to dream beyond what seems possible — and find others who believe in that dream enough to make it a reality together.” 🌍

Different stories, different perspectives, different dreams, yet united by a shared vision and the belief that together, we can make the impossible possible.

No words could ever fully capture how grateful I am for this incredible team, the friendships we built, the laughter we shared, and the memories we created.

Because teamwork doesn’t just make the dream work. It makes the extraordinary possible. ✨

In 2023, I had the privilege of meeting Bärbel Bas at the German Dream Award. ✨

What stayed with me was her authenticity, her dedication to public service, and the conviction with which she represents her values.

I have always believed that strong leadership is not only about the positions we hold, but also about the example we set and the doors we open for others.

Bärbel Bas is an inspiring example of female leadership and a reminder of how important it is for young women to see themselves represented in positions of responsibility and influence. 🌟

Thank you for your dedication to public service and for inspiring future generations of women to pursue their ambitions with courage and confidence. 👏

What an incredible Day 1 at GAC 2026! 🎓

Sometimes, with passion and purpose, you can make it happen.

Last year, I attended GAC as a participant and wished to see more Germans who, like me, come from diverse cultural backgrounds.

This year, as Head of German Outreach, I was proud to help establish the Pathway Scholarship with the support of our Chair and Project Access.
@jeremiasthiel @mili_arsen @germanamericancon

Welcoming our two Pathway Scholars to Harvard made all the effort worth it! 🙌 @kaan.thl @mindstate.space

12 months anniversary in Boston. 🫶🏽✨Finally feels like I arrived 💖.

A dream I had at 16 — now my reality. 🥹

The highs, the lows, the challenges, the growth, the experiences, and everything I’ve learned along the way.

Today, I just feel grateful — for pursuing my dream, for not giving up, for making it through this first year with all its highs and lows, and for everyone who has been part of the journey. 🤍✨🫶🏽

12 months ago, I arrived in Boston with no idea what this year would become. 🏙️✨

A year later, I’m still becoming, still building, still dreaming — with Boston’s beautiful skyline behind me. 🤍
