Born in Stuttgart in 1987, I grew up and went to school in Besigheim. After completing my secondary school certificate (Realschule) in Besigheim and a three-year apprenticeship as a bank clerk, I obtained my general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur) through a second-chance education program at the Stuttgart Business School (Wirtschaftsoberschule). I completed a dual study program at the DHBW Stuttgart and worked in auditing. I successfully completed my master's degree part-time at Pforzheim University, specializing in taxation, accounting, and business law. From an early age, I felt the need to get involved in my hometown. This wasn't about party politics, but rather about raising awareness of the needs of the younger generation. I campaigned for a basketball hoop in Besigheim and later for night buses. As chairman of the Ludwigsburg Youth Sports Association, I continue to volunteer for our community. Before I was elected to the German Bundestag, I gained valuable experience in auditing and served for five years as a member of the Baden-Württemberg State Parliament.
