About

I am a documentary filmmaker, scriptwriter, and author of several educational works. My research interests lie in the field of pedagogy, arts, and entertainment, as well as second language didactics, focused on a target audience of migrant children within a European context, specifically in Germany.

I am completing a dual doctorate in collaboration with the Experice laboratory at the University Paris 8, in partnership with the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. Additionally, I am affiliated as a researcher at the Doctoral College of Haut-Rhin.

 

Responsabilities

I am currently a teacher of German as a foreign language in two secondary schools in Munich, where I am conducting my research.
