My university studies, my work experience as a teacher and research assistant at the University of Dortmund, Germany as well as my travel experiences have contributed to shaping my current phd-topic "Commitment in Learning Plans". After my move to Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia I have been able to further my teaching experience as an associate lecturer for German at the Department of International Studies as well as working on my thesis. Writing my phd and teaching enables me to combine findings and experiences from a theoretical and practical point of view. This has led to research interest in further domains such as organizational psychology and motivational research which continuously influence my work.
