She completed her PhD in American Studies at the KU Eichstätt. Her project was funded by the Studienstiftung and examines  the historical and aesthetic development of audiopoetry in the US, focusing on commercial and avant-gardist spoken word labels.

Her recent projects include co-editing the interdisciplinary collection Practices of Imagination – Placings of Imaginaries.
