Undergraduate Degree — Mathematics & Physics
Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany
One of Europe's oldest universities. Rigorous, demanding, and foundational. The kind of mathematics education that makes everything else feel manageable by comparison.

Organist for Sacred Music
Strasbourg & St. Stephen's Church
Music trained an ear for structure, timing, and pattern recognition that translates surprisingly well to data work. Also occasionally useful for impressing clients at dinner.
2013 – 2019
Musical Director & Organist for Sacred Music
Advent Church, NC, USA
Parallel to graduate studies in the US. Leadership, coordination, and translating complex scores into something an audience actually experiences — not entirely unlike presenting a statistical model to a boardroom.
2015 – 2017
Graduate Degree — Master in Education of Mathematics
NC State University, USA
Trained to teach mathematics at the graduate level. Learned that understanding a concept and being able to explain it are two very different skills — and committed to mastering both.

NC State Teaching Certificate of Mathematics — with Honour (TPA)
East Chapel Hill High School, NC, USA
Secondary education, real classrooms, real students. Tableau used for data visualization projects. The daily challenge of making mathematics feel relevant — excellent preparation for making data dashboards feel the same.

Graduate Certificate — Applied Statistics & Data Management
NC State University, USA
The pivot point: formal training in statistical methods and data management pipelines. The moment mathematics became data science.

Automation of reporting and data processing pipelines. Advanced statistical analysis. Dataset structuring and quality assurance. Supervised machine learning. Network analysis of criminal organisations. Field operations optimisation research. The work I was trained for — and a few things no curriculum anticipated.
