While I was working in Mali as a carpenter in the late 1990s I realised that I was interested in the people rather than in their furniture. This was my motivation to study Anthropology. Today I work as a freelance filmmaker and anthropologist in Hamburg and around the world. Below is an overview of the most significant stages of my career:

from 09/2010	PhD candidate at the Institute for Cultural Research, Univeristy of Bremen.
2006-2010	Various film projects in Germany, Spain and Southern Africa.
2004–2010	Lecturer at the Universities of Hamburg, Bremen and Halle.

2005	Master in Social & Cultural Anthropology at the University of Hamburg. Minors: Geography and Journalism. MA thesis: "Ethnographic long-term research on a group of homeless people in Hamburg".
