FURTHER EDUCATION
Having graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology, politics and economics from Zeppelin University, he enrolled in a master's degree in CSR and NGO management at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg [H-BRS] in 2020. "After gaining a lot of hands-on experience, I'm looking forward to being back in an academic environment and exchanging ideas and opinions with students from all over the world. I get an unbelievable amount of enjoyment out of helping to give athletes a stronger voice. As far as my career goes, I'd like to help shape society through sport and education after I hang up my sabre. In what role I'll be best placed to do that, I don't know yet. I'm hoping that my degree at H-BRS will broaden my horizons and teach me some really practical skills for working in the tertiary sector." (h-brs.de, 27 Aug 2020)
