✏️ university & other education

last updated 2 weeks ago

2015 - 2018: studied Social Sciences with a focus on Sociology at a university
- unfinished; was to do something until I found something that suited me better!
2018 - 2021: finished a dual traineeship to become a Specialist for Media and Information Services with a focus on Information and Documentation
- this means working for an employer while going to a trade school twice a week.
2021 - now: working fulltime.
2022 - now: pursuing an LL.B. in law via a distanced learning university, parttime next to my fulltime work.
2025: finished a course to become a certified Data Protection Officer with a 2,2 GPA
