I am originally from the United States of America, but came to Germany for my graduate studies. Here I really appreciate the self-directed style of education as well as how most programs connect theory to practice. For that reason, my master thesis was about the experiences of international students living abroad, so I’m always interested to speak with people living abroad to see how they are navigating life in a foreign country! In my free time, I love finding new hiking trails or exploring new cities for the best cafes. And when I’m at home, I’m almost always baking something sweet.

I’m the recruitment counselor in charge of the International Foundation Year, so please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about that program!
Languages I speak: English and German

MEET SOME OF OUR RECENT FOUNDATION YEAR GRADUATES

Darlina Mamaqi - Albania

Albania

“Living on campus allows you to experience the beauty of different cultures. I have made friends with students from all over the world. Outside the classroom, I found my passion for football, basketball, dance and art. It’s exciting to be part of a team, and to be responsible for something other than studies.”

Oleg Borisov - Russia

Russia

“Jacobs University is not too big, and that is the university’s great advantage: The classes are small, our instructors take care of each individual student and help us out if we struggle with the material. The student community is close-knit. You can always rely on your friends’ support, and it is impossible to feel bored or homesick.”

Emily Waller - Germany
