Description

I find happiness in the simple yet profound joys of life. Being surrounded by nature and to connect with mother earth fuels my spirit, whether it's through a hike or through outdoor sports: climbing, biking, skiing, surfing, ... Mindfulness and yoga ground me, providing a sense of inner peace and balance that keeps me centered. I am a yoga teacher and try to practice meditation every day.

What also brings me happiness is handcrafting and creativity. I like pottery, I love drawing and painting, cooking and working with wood. Just in general, everything you can create and build with your hands is just magical.

Learning new things excite me, keeping my mind sharp, forming new connections and gaining new perspectives. My curiosity drives me forward. In essence, my motivation comes from a blend of connection—to nature, people, and experiences—and the ongoing pursuit of personal growth and fulfillment.

More details about my language interests
I travel a lot and like to learn a few words and phrases from each country. Although I often mix things up, it is my approach to show respect for the culture and people. I have fun learning languages not only with my mouth and voice, but also with my hands and feet and to laugh about mistakes we make and celebrate progress :)

More details about your skills

I work hard and diligent, I learn quickly, and always look ahead with respect for all living beings and things.

I started working at 14, first as a badminton coach and later in restaurants and promotional jobs. These early jobs helped me develop strong communication and presentation skills, which I did refine in the later stage.

After studying Fashion Management, I worked in online marketing and social media for both startups and larger companies. I also managed e-commerce shops, handling both operational tasks and long-term strategies. I went on to earn another bachelor's degree in Management and Digitalization, spending a semester abroad in beautiful San Diego. I completed my studies while working full-time at a MarTech SaaS company, where I improved the online presence and accessibility of websites.

In my free time, I practice yoga, and I'm also a certified instructor. I have strong organizational and management skills, not just from work but also from planning events, trips, and vacations with friends.

I have a hands-on approach and a natural curiosity that helps me learn new things quickly. This allows me to pick up many different skills, though it can sometimes be challenging to balance all my hobbies. But I'm grateful for the chance to explore so many different areas and gain new knowledge.
