About me

I grew up in Potsdam, capital of the German state of Brandenburg and located close to Germany’s capital Berlin. Already in my childhood I was interested in other cultures and languages, and so when I got the opportunity to study Japanese, I jumped at it. This way I already gained my first interpreting experience in Japanese-German youth exchange before I even graduated high school.

In university studied Japanese studies, comparative culture, political science, economics, anthropology and sociology in Berlin, Tokyo, Hagen and Lund. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Sophia University (Tokyo, Japan) and a master’s degree from Lund University (Lund, Sweden). Having lived in Japan, France and Sweden in addition to my native Germany, and having worked with people from many different cultures, I experienced first-hand many of the challenges that my clients struggle with.
