My journey started off on a farm in the Kalahari in South Africa. I am a "bush girl".

During my school years I had the good fortune of travelling to and living in foreign countries. After school I studied Marketing Management and Sales Management and acquired working experience in international Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical companies in SA. During this time, as part of my work, I trained university students and professionals. Sometime later my career lead me to Malaysia, where I worked for an educational institute as Head of the Marketing Management Department. It was here, and through working in other parts of South East Asia, that I was introduced to and gathered working and training experience in the field of business English and intercultural communication. Some years later I continued my journey to Vienna, where I set up my own business and have been working as a freelance corporate coach and trainer in the areas of business English language acquisition and intercultural communication not only in Vienna but also in neighbouring CEE countries. I regularly update my skills and knowledge and can now also support my clients in mediation, personal development coaching and business consulting.

One of my favorite quotes is by Oliver Wendell Holmes "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." I continuously "stretch" my life and mind and can attribute my success today to all the above including the people I have met and worked with along the way!
