PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am German born, but consider myself lucky to have spent important years in my life in such exciting countries as Tanzania and Japan. I am naturally very interested in cultures, countries, people and languages.

Throughout my business life I have learned that in order to grow I need to continue to be creative, spontaneous and curious and I have embarked on a journey of life-long learning. Consequently, I am passionate about helping others gain knowledge and insights – be it in a professional environment or as a volunteer German teacher for refugees.
