Lecturer of trust: Together with my colleague Hanna Bruns, I am lecturer of trust. As such, I am happy to support students confidentially, discreetly, and on equal terms. Aside from matters related to university, such as questioning or doubting your course of studies, I can support and advise you on private matters that interfere with or impede your studies. These are, for example, mental health or issues with time management.
