About me

True. Authentic. Inspiring.

Basketball has shaped every stage of my life – from playing and leading as captain of the national team, to helping our squad fight its way back to the international stage. Over time, I have discovered a deep passion for 3×3, a format that pushes you to your limits while offering an incredible sense of reward and accomplishment. The highlight of this journey came with winning gold at the 2024 Olympics in Paris – a moment that was not only a career milestone, but also a powerful symbol of what can be achieved through trust, unity, and relentless determination.

From the game. Into Everyday Life.

After the end of my playing career, I am looking ahead – with full conviction and passion for the future of women’s basketball.

Since 2024, I have been working as the Manager for Girls’ and Women’s Basketball at ALBA BERLIN. In this role, I work every day to elevate women’s basketball in Germany – making it more professional, more visible, and more sustainable. Because the next generation deserves the best possible conditions to achieve great things.

Lasting impacts

Leadership & success

Trust, communication, and clear goals are the foundation of sustainable team success – both in sport and in business. Drawing from my experience as captain of the national team, I demonstrate in a practical way how these values create true cohesion and drive top performance.

Motivation & mental strength

Mental strength reveals itself in the decisive moments. I share how I handled setbacks and pressure in elite sport, and how these experiences can foster renewed motivation, clarity, and focus.

Women in sport and equality

I actively advocate for greater visibility and equality in sport. In my talks, I address structural hurdles, share personal experiences, and highlight how targeted support can open new opportunities for girls and women – both on the pitch and beyond.

With my focus on professional basketball, women in competitive sport, and mental health, I offer authentic, practical insights into German women’s sport – aiming to motivate and empower young women and girls in particular.

I look forward to connecting with you live at events – whether on stage, in the studio, or online via video link. Through individually tailored keynotes, workshops, and creative team-building formats, I provide fresh impetus and support your growth together.
