ORANGE 94.0 | Radio Orange – das Freie Radio bzw. community radio in Wien. Seit ich in Wien bin, immer wieder Bezugsort für mich. Von 2016 bis 2019 als IT-Maschinistin (aka System- & Netzwerkadministratorin) und streckenweise als Tech-Team-Lead und Entwicklerin tätig. Seitdem nach wie vor verbunden als ab-und-an-Entwicklerin und freie Unterstützerin, und wer weiß, vielleicht ja bald auch mal wieder als ProdUserin des Freien Radios, also als freie Radiomacherin. Its a bit like free & open source software for the radios!

Antisexismusbroschüre – nach 2 Jahren Konzeption und Umsetzung durch unser 7-köpfiges Redaktionskollektiv haben wir 4500 Stück der Antisexismusbroschüre drucken können. Das war vor allem auch dank der Mitarbeit von über 50 Personen (als Autor_innen, Co-Redakteur_innen, Grafiker_innen, etc.) möglich. Die Broschüre sollte niederschwellige Erklärungen zu sexistischen Strukturen und Vorfällen in unserem Umfeld schaffen. Darüberhinaus will sie Zugänge zu antisexistischer Praxis in verschiedensten Kontexten und Lebenssituationen ermöglichen. Die Broschüre ist inzwischen vergriffen, kann aber weiterhin als PDF heruntergeladen werden.

Österreichische Hochschüler*innenschaft – ich war als fraktionsunabhängige Person auf verschiedensten Ebenen der ÖH tätig. Nun stelle ich verschiedenen ÖH-Kontexten vor allem Know How und Coaching im Rahmen von Seminaren und Workshops zur Verfügung.

Department of Science and Technology Studies at the University of Vienna – besides my completion of the master programme Science - Technology - Society in 2014, I also worked at the department for several terms as student and teaching assistant.
