For eight years I attended the Federal Realgymnasium at Adolf-Pichler-Platz in Innsbruck, a science-focused school in Tyrol. My choices also emphasized natural sciences, with a minor focus on entrepreneurship as well as psychology and philosophy.
Alongside my academic education, I engaged in various ways: As a school medic, I took responsibility for (first) aid in everyday school life; as a mediator and buddy, I supported conflict resolution and guided younger students in their first year. In addition to my four years as class representative in the upper school, I also had the privilege of serving as head boy for three years, representing the interests of my approximately 1,000 fellow students.
