What's (usually) not on my CV

As a child I participated in the German Youth Chess Championship in Oberhof 1999 after winning both the Palatinate and Rhineland-Palatinate Youth Championships (and decided to end my competitive streak right then and there).

Together with two friends, I was awarded a RÖMPP student prize in chemistry by the Thieme Publishing Group in 2006 for our research project on the analysis, characterization, and synthesis of selected polymers in athletic shoes.

Before and during my time at university I volunteered on a dementia ward, at an elementary school, in a shelter for homeless people, and in a local hospice.
