I have always had a passion for languages and for discovering
different cultures.

So translation studies seemed a natural choice. But in the three
years I spent working in Monterrey in northern Mexico, I quickly realised that
learning the language is only one part of the puzzle. Communication, especially
in the business environment, is based on so much more than just language. Cultural
aspects, too, are decisive when it comes to grasping meaning and developing a
shared basis for working together.

In order to close this gap, and to deepen my understanding of the
significance of culture for communication, I decided to do a postgraduate
course in intercultural communication and cooperation after returning home to
Germany. An MBA at the University of Otago in New Zealand rounded off my
profile, offering me valuable insights into the business challenges
international companies and their employees face in the era of globalisation.
My goal is to use my expertise to enhance your company’s success.
