Interest
Basketball

Politics and World Affairs

I played competitive basketball as an active member of the

Turnverein Hersfeld in Bad Hersfeld from 2006 to 2014.
Additionally, I joined the ACT Kassel in 2008 for one
season. Apart from the competitive element, basketball also
teaches me the importance of teamwork and the benefits of
several people working as a cohesive unit.
