She studied political science, philosophy and international relations at the Universities of Heidelberg, Frankfurt/Main and Darmstadt (Germany) as well as the Institut des Sciences Politiques in Lille (France). During her research, she visited the Universities of Harvard, Oxford, Klagenfurt and Munich, among others.
