I have always loved people, life and nature as a whole. Life has been my greatest university in many ways, although I originally trained as an architectural draftsperson. Over the years, I have discovered that creativity is what gives life so much more meaning.

Born in Germany, raised in South Africa, and now living in New Zealand close to my two sons and their families, my journey has been shaped by different countries, cultures, and experiences. If life were divided into three chapters, I have proudly entered my third and look forward to discovering all it still has to offer.

I have learnt to embrace change, while also appreciating the importance of simply being present, allowing ourselves to feel, reflect, and grow. To me, life is a wonderful adventure, sometimes challenging, often surprising, and always worth embracing.
