Kerstin graduated with a Bachelor’s (2009) and Master’s degree (2011) in Management Information Systems (Wirtschaftsinformatik) at the HTW University of Applied Sciences Berlin. After working as a technical consultant in Deutsche Bahn's group-wide Enterprise Architecture Management, she decided to enhance her data-related skills and started the international Data Science degree program at Beuth University of Applied Sciences in 2018. One year later, she got the chance to apply and further develop her newly acquired knowledge, paired with her previous experience in software engineering and management, in the field of Learning Analytics - in the project "Students Advice".
