Want to know more about me?

Here’s a quick, deeper glimpse:

1. I’m half-American, half-German, born and raised in Saudi Arabia. (Yes, it’s true!) So I know a thing or two about intercultural experiences, which helps a lot when working with companies that have employees and team members from international places.

2. Each year I visit India or Mexico to nurture my passion for movement and the country’s colourful culture. I absolutely love these places, its beautiful people, and delicious food. Embracing travel and different cultures helps me to always stay open to new experiences.

3. Growing up my family always had horses. These magical creatures continue to be a big part of my life. I am a passionate Dressage-Rider! And I’m thrilled to have just invested in a new black beauty, named Uman.

4. I absolutely love travelling by train. The reassuring sound of the wheels running along the tracks never fails to put me in a meditative state. My dream is to do the Trans-Siberian railway, starting in Moscow and ending up in Vladivostok. It’ll happen, you’ll see!

5. My favorite part of my work is receiving heartfelt ‘thank yous’ on a regular basis from the teams I work with. Whether it's a sweet post-it note, some pretty flowers, or a warm hug at the end of a workshop, it’s amazing to feel so appreciated for doing something I love. 

6. I take part in Fighting Monkey® trainings whenever I can. A dynamic approach to movement, healthy aging and life-long learning based on research and dialogue between Art, Physical Performance and Effective Communication. It teaches independence and interdependence all at once – which, in turn, supports the work I do with companies.

7. I love, love, love connection. From workshops with Benjamin Joon to meeting friends to bringing together thousands of employees under one roof cheering together, connection is what makes life beautiful. 

8. Cleaning is something I actually find fun! I like to organise my home and putter around tidying. Sometimes in the work I do I feel like Mary Poppins for companies! Drifting down from the sky with my umbrella and entering into a new company, cleaning up the messy pieces and bringing everything together again. Just a spoonful of sugar…
