Drohsel studied law, and including an Eramus exchange year at La Sapienza University, in Rome. After state legal exams in 2005, she became a doctoral student and researcher at Humboldt University of Berlin. She has been active with Jusos since 1995, and the SPD since 2001. She is also a member of the trade union ver.di. As a result of public pressure, a few days after being elected Jusos party chairperson, she gave up her membership to Rote Hilfe e.V. (a revival of the historical International Red Aid), which is considered to be a left-wing extremist organization by the German Verfassungsschutz.[2]

Drohsel earned a doctorate under Ulrich Battis [de] in 2010, with her dissertation "Vereinbarkeit gesetzlicher Öffnungsklauseln mit der Koalitionsfreiheit aus Art. 9 Abs. 3 GG." From April 2012 to March 2014, she was for the first time deputy chairwoman of the Steglitz-Zehlendorf SPD district association, and in March 2016 she took over this office again. 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]
