What are your professional milestones?

In my first job I was a classical solo singer and travelled internationally a lot. While working, I studied cultural management and later psychology (M.A., B.Sc.) at various universities and did a doctorate on a topic “between” music/cultural studies and psychology. My field of work was the stage for a long time, as I also did moderation and representation work in educational and business contexts besides and after singing. Today I help other people to develop their personality in front of and behind the stage. I am not interested in promises of success under the sign of a social paradigm of conformity; rather, I want to encourage people to find their individual form of expression and thus an increase in quality of life. As a transporter of the psychic, my medium is voice & language.

What is your most defining career experience?

Not to believe in “the one career” – but in lifelong learning and thus in new tasks at every age.

What do you recommend to applicants for the Femtec Career-Building Programme?

A goal- and expectation-open approach to encounters, which often generate experiences which are not – in the sense of a career plan – predictable and which are usually much more crucial to personal development than theories and concepts, because: ” Alles wirkliche [Er-]Leben ist Begegnung ” (something like “Real experience is encounter.”) (Martin Buber).
