I was born in Bremen and lived in England for over thirty years as well as two years in

France and nine years on Mallorca. I travelled extensively in Europe: from Ireland,

Scotland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Italy, Austria to

Hungary and the Czech Republic. I was also able to admire the original Lebanon, before it

was destroyed by war. Since 1998 I live in Hamburg where I paint and work as a freelance

English trainer.

 

      After completing a business apprenticeship, I went to England and lived as an au-pair

for one year in Surrey. Later I worked in London as a bi-lingual secretary, later as a fashion

and photographic model and actress. I also travelled widely as a sales rep and production

assistant for an advertising film company. 

 

      When my daughter was at Nursery school, I began to help out occasionally on a

voluntary basis and became interested in Education. So, when a special teacher training

programme for adults was set up in London, I took part in it and was able to qualify four

years later to work as a class and art teacher in South London Middle Schools. I also

gathered life experience as a housewife and mother of one daughter who now lives in

Surrey with her husband and son.
