With over 10 years of experience in sustainability auditing and consultancy, I support aquaculture and processing partners as well as wild-catch operations worldwide in achieving international certifications or meeting internal quality standards.
With a B.Sc. in Agricultural Biology (specializing in animal husbandry and landscape ecology) and an M.Sc. in Aquaculture and Marine Resource Management, I bring both academic knowledge and decades of practical fieldwork to every project. My lifelong passion for sustainable food production and self-sufficient living has shaped not only my career but my everyday life — I grow my own food, live seasonally, and work with the land and animals in a respectful, regenerative way.
Also, I am examined for the German hunting license (aktiv-Jagdschule) and fishing license (federal examination).
Extensive experience in seafood quality management and international auditing across diverse aquaculture systems. A unique professional background that combines practical field operations with the demands of global sustainability schemes.”
