The event industry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember: as a child, I performed as a circus artist, and as a teenager, I frequently took the stage as a musician. In 2015, I founded the cultural collective “Riot,” through which I organized events such as the “Austrian Beatbox Championship.” After finishing school, I studied musicology and event engineering, gaining experience at numerous conferences and concerts as a technical support specialist, logistics coordinator, and production manager. Since 2017, I have been working in various roles at Arena Wien and currently represent the collective “Forum Wien – Arena.”
