Lara Austermann

Exploring the world from a small village – this is my story.  I grew up in a small village near Muenster and my path continued for my Business Administration Bachelor studies in the city of Dortmund, which is famous for soccer. During my studies, I got experience in the sector of constructions, luxury real estate (in the greater area of Los Angeles, USA) and Sales & Business Development. As this will be my first case study competition, which will also be a special digital experience, I am motivated, positive and looking forward to the shared digital time and new impressions.
