I have studied sociology, economics, political science and geography at the University of Berne. During my studies, I have specialized in gender, globalisation, social inequality and social change in the global south and in the Swiss Alps. I've been working at the Swiss Academy for Development (SAD) since April 2005, first as an intern, then as a project collaborator in the field of Sport & Development. In April 2008, I became a project manager of the new educational and sports project "Move 4 New Horizons" in Nepal.
