As a child of the countryside and a farmer's daughter, I grew up surrounded by nature, fields, cows, pigs and chickens. At a young age, I helped with the birth of a calf and was able to explain the difference between hay and straw to my classmates very early on. As a teenager, I became more and more interested in nature conservation and how to treat nature and its creatures properly.

I traveled around for several years and was able to gain many exciting impressions. The indigenous peoples in particular always seemed to me to live in fascinating harmony with nature. I studied tourism management and focused on international sustainable tourism. Later, I worked in destination management for nature and active tourism and supported sustainable tourism projects - and now I have landed at Wilderness International. I am looking forward to working with my team and our partners to protect primeval forests and their fascinating ecosystems - after all, they are the basis of our existence.

I live in the Spreewald and love to roam the woods with my family and our dog Motti. In the fall, we like to go crane watching with tea and lentil soup. When I'm not watching cranes, I'm making music or in the garden.
