After earning a second MA in German as a Foreign/Second Language in 2012 (University of Vienna), she worked as a German Language Teacher in Budapest, Moscow, and Vienna. In her time at the Department of Germanic Studies at Trinity College Dublin she taught several undergraduate classes with a focus on Film from the German speaking lands and coming to terms with the past in Austria. Next to her teaching duties, she was the organizer and artistic director of the German speaking student theater which staged Kathrin Röggla´s “Junk Space” in 2018 and Jura Soyfer´s “Der Weltuntergang” in 2019.
