Calm, faithful, upright, open, incorrigibly optimistic and absolutely reliable. – This is how both friends and clients describe me. I love to absorb, learn and expand my horizons through travel, books, open eyes and ears. This inspiration always gives me new energy and it goes directly into the work with you and for you. Let’s get to know each other!
