My Story

About me

I started high diving at the age of 19 – without a competitive sports background and initially self-taught.

In the years that followed, I developed into professional training structures and established myself within a short period of time in international competition.
I competed in World Aquatics World Cups and World Championships as well as in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series and am now considered among the leading high divers in Germany.

A major milestone in my career was winning the gold medal at the European Aquatics Championships in High Diving in 2022.
After the birth of my daughter, I returned to competition seven months later, taking part in my first Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series event and shortly afterwards competing at the World Championships in Singapore in 2025.

My daily sporting life is shaped by a high level of personal responsibility, self-organisation and clear priorities – both in training and in competition.
My ambition is to continue developing as an athlete and to pursue my path in high diving at the highest international level, with the goal of reaching the very top.

Jump into the next adventure with me

Alongside my sporting career, I work as a speaker and creator with companies, organisations and brands.
In talks, projects and content collaborations, I bring in experiences from high-performance sport – with a focus on decision-making under pressure, comebacks, courage and personal development beyond predefined structures under extreme conditions.

In addition, I realise content and UGC projects in the field of social media – from concept to execution.

Enquiries for speaking engagements and collaborations are welcome!
