MSc
Consultant

After my time as a working student at TMAG, I am delighted to now be a full-time member of the team as a consultant. I particularly appreciate the opportunity to apply and further develop my knowledge of psychology and business administration in exciting projects.
I completed my master’s degree in psychology in 2024 and am now enrolled part-time in a bachelor’s degree in management and economics at the University of Innsbruck.

Already during my bachelor's degree in psychology, I specialized in the fields of personnel and business psychology and acquired theoretical foundations in topics such as change management, talent management and employee motivation. In addition, I deepened my knowledge of organizational psychology and passed an exam in systemic coaching. This systemic perspective gave me new insights into organizational structures and fascinated me with how small impulses can bring about big changes.

When working with others, it is important to me to communicate clearly, to reflect regularly and, above all, to work as a strong team.
TMAG puts this into practice, and I am happy to actively support them in their efforts. I see my work at TMAG as a great opportunity to learn the consulting business from the ground up.

In my work I am particularly interested in the following questions

• How can the individual strengths of each person be optimally utilized in the system "organization" and what are the necessary conditions for this?
• What motivates employees to act in the interest of the organization?
• How can companies ensure that managers are willing and able to develop both individually and together in the long term?
• How can organizations identify and develop talent?            
• How can succession and talent management be designed in a meaningful and effective way to ensure the long-term success of the organization and its talents?
• How can new learning methods and digital learning formats support companies in their change projects?
