  • Description

    I’m Karen, 32 years old and I am from Germany. I quit my IT job and left my old life behind to find myself and make a positive impact on others, nature, and the environment. I’m eager to learn and try new things, meet different people and cultures, and I’m open to whatever comes my way.

    I am holding a master´s degree in Industrial Engineering and I am also a trained Barkeeper. These two degrees show that my interests are pretty broad. Besides studying—and later working full-time—I’ve done all sorts of jobs: in restaurants, behind the bar, at events, as a photographer, as a pastry chef, at trade shows, setting up and tearing down venues, and in food, beverage, and cosmetics production… and so much more. I have a thing for anything new, especially things I haven’t tried before, no matter how tough or challenging they are. From the outside, I might look like a multi-talent—but I wouldn’t describe myself that way.

    I am open minded and I am willing to do everything, means also tough and hard jobs, and I want to do something with my hands. If you have any questions, please let me know!

  • More details about your skills

    First of all I have a master degree for Industrial Engineering and I worked for a IT company the last years. Additional to that I am a trained barkeeper and worked next to my full-time job in different areas of gastronomy (service, bar, kitchen etc). I love to work with people and for people. Next to it I like to do something with animals, nature and environment. And I am a open minded person: I try everything which comes to my way!
