(a revival of the historical International Red Aid), which is considered to be a left-wing extremist organization by the German Verfassungsschutz.[2]

Since February 23, 2016, she has additionally been deputy chairwoman of the Berlin-Lankwitz SPD within the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district association.[3] From 2015 to 2017, she worked for the law firm Gaßner, Groth, Siederer & Coll. and advised on construction planning and building regulation law, grant law, and constitutional law.[4] Since 2017, she has worked as a legal officer for the Federal Coordination of Specialized Counseling against Sexualized Violence in Childhood and Adolescence.[5]
