About me

My love of general medicine began early in my training. I gained hands-on experience working shifts in the emergency department at Hietzing Hospital. During the teaching practice (Lehrpraxis) that followed my hospital training, my passion for the broad scope of general medicine deepened — along with my dream of opening my own practice.

Over several years, I gained experience covering for colleagues at various practices. As a school physician for the City of Vienna, I focused on preventive medicine and especially on immunization under the Vienna vaccination plan. Working with children has always brought me great joy, and I look forward to welcoming many young patients to our office as well! I also volunteer as a breastfeeding counselor with La Leche League.
