Why is the Peers4You project important to you?

Back in school, I already experienced how much talking to the peers there helped my fellow students. This showed me how important this kind of interaction is and how much we all actually need each other.

What distinguishes you as a Peers4You advisor?

As far as possible, I try not to judge other people’s situations and to stop myself from putting labels on everyone right away. I’m aware that this isn’t always possible but I think it’s important to strive for a measure of objectivity.

What is typical of you as a person?

Life confronts us with challenges every day. I find that the method of finding something amusing in everything helps me overcome these challenges. It has certainly become my trademark by now.

What motto do you live by?

“Seek discomfort“ – get out of your comfort zone as often as possible.

What is your favourite hobby?

I love to read, even if it may sound boring. There is nothing better in my opinion than to sit on the bank of the river Danube with my nose deep in a book.
