I worked as a professional presentation trainer and consultant in Germany and the US for almost two decades. As a permanent resident, I'm fully authorized to live and work in the United States so it's easy for American companies to work with me.
My formal qualification includes a degree in translating in English and Spanish at the Fachhochschule in Cologne, Germany with majoring in phonetics and rhetoric and studying rhetoric at UCLA. I also received professional training as a singer for six years in Cologne, Germany and continued with voice, singing, breathing work and acting.
For seven years I worked as a journalist in news and feature for different radio and TV stations, including Antenne Düsseldorf, RTL (Radio Télévision Luxembourg) and the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk).
During this time I completed intensive radio voice training and optimized my skills as a writer for radio and tv at the Academy of Broadcasting in Dortmund.
In the process, I developed a deep know-how and understanding of presentation, singing, stage, voice, speech, image work, communication and body language.
I was born in Wolfsburg, Germany, have lived in the Rheinland area, Germany and after traveling extensively through Europe, the US and Australia, I migrated to California, US.
After my first english lesson in school, English became my favourite language and while participating in an AFS Exchange Student Program
1982-83 in the US, I knew that I wanted to live here permanently. I found my love and home in beautiful Carmel-by-the-sea.
I love working with and serving people, singing, songwriting, playing the guitar and the piano, vegan and vegetarian cuisine and cooking, practicing yoga and of course: dogs.
I am very much looking forward to meeting you.
