I was born on July 19, 1970 in southern Bavaria and grew up in Traunreut, Germany. That's where my parents met in the 1960s as guest workers from Greece and Croatia. They were simple workers who worked hard all their lives. With this background, at the time, I was among the 5% in Germany who both had A-levels and went on to study further.
1989, I moved to Munich, underwent training as a European Secretary, and earned my degree in Business Administration. For 16 years, I worked in the IT industry, serving large American and Japanese corporations, primarily as a Product Manager and Product Marketing Manager across the entire PC client spectrum.
In my early thirties, I got married, became a mother to a son, and two years later to a daughter. They were and still are my greatest motivation and inspiration to overcome old family patterns and look deep into my own soul.
In 2018, I took the leap into self-employment and also worked in the social sector as a tutor, family counseling coordinator, and school support. It was a very intense time during which I gained many insights into schools, social institutions, family issues across all societal strata, and the work of child welfare services.
Since 2025, I have been combining my professional life with personal development. These two pillars bring me inner satisfaction and joy.
