Since September 2021, I have had the privilege of representing you in Neukölln’s Constituency 4—Gropiusstadt, Buckow Nord, and the northern part of the Blumenviertel—as a member of the Berlin House of Representatives (MdA). In the Berlin House of Representatives, I serve as the SPD parliamentary group’s spokesperson for education, science, and research.

In addition, I serve on the following committees:

• Education, Youth, and Family

• Science and Research

• Urban Development, Construction, and Housing

As your local representative, I address the concerns of the people in my district. My commitment to the community where I grew up motivates me every single day.

Since March 2024, my neighborhood office at Jungfernmühle (Goldammerstraße 34) has also been open to you. Together with my team, we’ve already been able to help hundreds of residents with their concerns.

To give you an idea of what I’ve been able to achieve for Neukölln over the past four and a half years—especially for Gropiusstadt, Buckow Nord, and the northern Blumenviertel—I’ve put together a report brochure. It highlights a selection of specific projects and achievements from my work as a member of the state parliament.
My goal remains clear: a livable, affordable, and socially inclusive Neukölln for everyone.
You can find my brochure summarizing my work here.

In my free time, I have also been volunteering with the SPD Neukölln since 2011. The issues that are particularly important to me include social policy and the fight against poverty, urban development and housing, policies for children, youth, and families, education policy, and migration policy.

Among other roles, I serve as chair of the SPD Gropiusstadt chapter and as vice chair of the SPD Neukölln chapter.

I was also active for several years in the Gropiusstadt Residents’ Council (GBV). Today, I volunteer as a board member of the August Bebel Institute and as vice chair of the executive committee of AWO Südost. I am also a member of the Falken and the GEW Berlin teachers’ union.

I am particularly committed to promoting a strong democracy, a society based on solidarity, and the fight against anti-democratic and anti-human sentiments. To this end, I am very active on social media, among other things. According to the analytics platform “Inflact,” my Instagram account ranks among the top 35 accounts nationwide in terms of reach in the “Politician” category.

In February 2026, S. Fischer Verlag also published my debut nonfiction book, “What’s It to Me? – Why We Can Only Stop the Shift to the Right Together.”
