I am honored and delighted to join the ACES Board as a newly elected member. As an Austrian-American and long-time IB educator, I am deeply committed to international education and the values of global citizenship. I look forward to serving and representing IB schools in Austria, and to contributing to ACES’s mission of fostering international mindedness and cross-cultural collaboration. I am especially passionate about nurturing the curiosity of future generations, and I’m excited to support and inspire our diverse community of learners and educators across Central Europe.
