My goal…
…is to understand your business, passion & skills and to help you focus on what you love. Together we can develop ways of how I can take over the tasks that slow you down, keep you busy and stop you from becoming even more successful. I’d love to have your back, cheer you on and structure the admin side of your business according to your values, goals and vision.
My Values
Values shape relationships – with friends, family, clients and service providers. As your VA I see myself as a partner and supporter of your business. I value transparency, honesty and trust. As you share details of your business, your vison and challenges I’d like you to feel valued and know the information you share is safe with me. I strive to foster a relationship where both of us can grow, learn and develop together and have lots of fun along the way.

My personal background
If you would like to know a bit more about the person behind the business, here are some random facts about myself. Feel free to ask me if you’d like to know more about one or the other.
I currently live in Leipzig, Germany and Hurghada, Egypt – traveling between both locations every few months.
I took a sabbatical in 2014 and spent several months in Cape Town, South Africa, volunteering part time for an NGO, slowing down and doing what my heart longed for.
I love books, could spend hours in book stores and hardly ever make it out there without buying another one. I dream of having my own little library one day with cozy arm chairs, fire place and all.
I am a nomad at heart and have lived in various locations inside and outside Germany – Munich, Stuttgart, the Frankfurt area as well as West Virginia, Bangkok and Cape Town.
I have been an exchange student in Elkins, West Virginia at the age of 16 … city girl going country roads.
I became a Christian only at the age of 29 – best decision I have ever made and a whole story on it’s own.
I love to hear people’s stories – where life has taken them, their dreams and lessons learned. So many treasures to be found in each individual story.
As Life Coach I support women in change processes e.g. after a separation, counsel them in questions of life & faith and help them find their individual way. Find out more here.
I have danced for about 20 years – mainly Jazzdance and Modern Dance but even a bit of Flamenco, Salsa and Oriental. Even though now I don’t do it semi-professionally anymore, in my heart I am still a dancer.
