A little more about me

I firmly believe that everyone has unique abilities and can make their own special contribution to the success of the bigger picture. I am at my best when I have the opportunity to make this diversity visible and usable in teams, and to guide team members towards meaningful and enjoyable collaboration. I love discovering and applying new methods and ways of working. I live with my husband in the charming small town of Buxtehude and I love sports.
