She studied philosophy, transcultural communication, and conference interpreting in Vienna (University of Vienna), Paris (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), and Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).

Her research interests include critical, queer, so-called “non-professional” and didactic aspects of translation and interpreting, as well as workplace and ethnographic field research.
In addition to her academic position, she also works as a freelance translator and interpreter for German, French, Spanish, and English, and delivers workshops on interpreting für LGBTIQ+ refugees.
