DETAILS
Born in 1976, I am a native German speaker, originally from Northern Bavaria. I hold an M. A. degree in Anthropology and Comparative Religion from Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg (Germany). I specialised in European cultures, but also worked with a variety of other subject areas and became familiar with current international discourses. Aside from that, I hold a certificate for teaching German as a foreign language from International House, Freiburg (Germ.). Because of my general interest in languages and communication, I have studied Italian and Spanish at University as well as when travelling. I also spent one year studying at Roma 3 University in Rome (Italy). When studying in Heidelberg, I successfully attended courses in linguistics and literature at the department for Romance languages and literature. To me, both studying a language theoretically and applying my skills directly in contact with different people are equally important.
