Growing up in a small German town, I was never exposed to any challenges or threats to the environment. Because of my family’s love for traveling, I got the opportunity to travel the world and understand the privileges I have and how difficult it is to sustain and deal with the threats in the environment. This made me eager to have an impact and wanted to raise ecologically and socially awareness of sustainability.  

 

When I discovered my passion for hospitality I dreamed about a utopia, an industry where people have all equal chances, an industry without any harm to the local society and environment. That is when I came across the Sustainable Hospitality Challenge, where I finally have the chance  to make an impact, not only locally but globally. 

 

In the future, I want to work in hospitality with a strong focus on developing people and implementing sustainable components within the hospitality industry. I want to incorporate sustainable living into the general mindsets of the people in our industry and turn this industry into a role model for other sectors. After the finals in Dubai, I aim to continue with our community plan with my team and turn it into reality!”
