Born and raised in Zell am See, Salzburg, I decided to study law immediately after graduating from the Bundesrealgymnasium.
After completing my diploma studies part-time at the Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck and court practice at the district and regional court of Salzburg, I was able to gain extensive professional experience in the areas of civil, criminal and administrative law in the course of my legal training in Salzburg, Linz and Wels.
