I am a sociologist and political scientist, born in 1967, and live and work in Cologne and Bonn.
As a senior evaluator, I have been working in the field of evaluation for over 14 years, since 2012 as an independent evaluator and consultant. Since 2013, I have been a member and representative of the Development Policy Working Group of the German Evaluation Society (DeGEval). Before becoming self-employed, I worked for 8 years as a consultant at the Protestant Development Service (EED, now Bread for the World) in the areas of evaluation, gender and planning monitoring evaluation (PME). I managed the humanitarian aid projects of the Federal Agency for Technical Relief in Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Albania for 3.5 years in the field of refugee care and emergency house repairs. I am a volunteer in the Bonn-Beuel peace group and have been on the board of the non-governmental organization AntiAtomBonn e.V. since 2010.

ReflACTION is an independent and open platform of experienced professionals and free thinkers from diverse backgrounds who have a deep interest in the new future of international crisis response. ReflACTION is a network that reflects on the current mechanisms of crisis response. In doing so, the network works on possible responses for transformative change and the promotion of new ways of acting with a focus on people-led initiatives.
The network, which consists of development policy experts, meets once or twice a year to discuss current development cooperation issues.
The aim of the network is to contribute to the professionalization of evaluators in development-related domestic work through regular dialogue between the actors in the field and thus to improve the quality of evaluations in this area of work. In addition, the project is working on the question of how evaluations can be made fruitful for scientific research in order to achieve a closer link between theory and practice and to expand empirical knowledge about the still under-researched field of practice.
Let's work together.
