Formerly lawyer specialised in international and European law, studied in Paris, worked for the European Commission in Brussels, Yogini in Mexican jungle. Now specializing in Communication and Public Relations in the course of a Master's Degree and writing thesis on the tension between an open-minded error culture and reputation. After all, happiest when taking shots of everyday life's moments of her two children with her analog Konica Hexar camera.

Managing to feel the intensity and beauty of life through the awareness in each present moment. Adapting yoga and meditation philosophy into the actions of everyday's life. Swimming in lakes. looking at big old trees in winter. Italien pasta. Handwritten letters. Bob Dylan. Sunshine after rain.

Transforming Brene Brown's conclusions on vulnerability of individuals into new rules for public relations being more transparent with respect to errors and thus more trustworthy and authentic.
