"Basically, there was also an enthusiasm for me at the beginning and that was for the media. How can you build beautiful content and make it available...that's why I started studying media management and the whole time I was in internships, in student jobs, in media companies, in publishing houses, in agencies, in market research companies, so I really tried out a lot and saw where I like it, where I don't like it, where my passion actually lies."
