On April 1, I started at ASH Berlin as a consultant for quality management in teaching and learning (QMESuL for short). As part of the QMESuL team, my tasks include measuring and ensuring the university's quality standards, which are based on internal quality objectives (teaching and learning mission statement) and external requirements and guidelines. The implementation of these standards is the subject of regular internal surveys, which I am currently working on.
I completed my degree in sociology at the Technical University of Berlin and at the same time supported the team for quality assurance and study programs in the implementation of competence-oriented course evaluations, workload surveys and dropout studies. After my studies, I worked as a coordinator in the proScience project to support and promote female students in STEM subjects. In addition to an extensive range of further education courses, I advised and supported female students in organizing their studies. Before I came to ASH Berlin, I worked for several years at the Akkon University of Applied Sciences as a consultant for program development and quality. My areas of responsibility there were quality and process management, development and accreditation of degree programs and complaints management. In the course of my career, I have also enjoyed teaching in the field of qualitative and quantitative social research and have also been scientifically active in several research projects in the areas of acceptance, disaster and security research.
I see quality assurance and quality development as an integral part of a lively and sustainable quality culture in which different actors at central and decentralized levels help to shape and take responsibility for quality. I see it as my task to develop the appropriate survey instruments for this together with the members of the university and to establish regular empirical surveys at ASH Berlin. The evaluation results should provide members of the university with a good basis for assessing their own (subject) areas and the university as a whole, as well as highlighting strengths and potential for development. I see the evaluation procedures and results as support which, in a dialogical, non-sanctioning framework, help in the development and implementation of optimization possibilities as well as in the development of degree programs and the university.
In my work, collaboration, communication and transparency are very important to me. Quality management thrives on exchanging ideas with individual areas and hearing what moves the stakeholders and what they need. This allows me to get to know the university better in all its diversity, accompany it in its projects and support it in an advisory capacity. I look forward to an appreciative and productive collaboration.
