Moderator. Sales trainer. Speaker. Brand ambassador.

That sounds like a pretty long job description at first. I know.

And yes – I am often asked whether I am not one thing I want to concentrate on what I like doing most.

My answer is: No. Because I love exactly this combination.

I am a curious A human being through and through. I'm fascinated by what drives people, how business and politics shape our reality, which innovations shape our future – and how to communicate and sell convincingly.

Because that's exactly where my strength lies: making complex content understandable, building trust, creating an impact - be it on stage, in front of the camera, in a sales conversation or in a pitch.

Or, to put it bluntly:
I make people and brands shine.

My path – between stage and business

Even as a child I liked the SpecialWhile others were learning musical instruments, I practiced hula hoop and handstands at acrobatics school – and discovered early on my joy in performing and presence.

In addition to my high school diploma and tourism studies, I worked on catwalks, in front of cameras, at trade fairs and at the 2006 FIFA World Cup – but also in the clean room of a chip factory and in the office of a real estate agent.

I learned early on to earn my own money and to move in different worlds – Stage and Business were never opposites for me.

Your presenter from Dresden – right in the heart of business

“Known from radio and television.” That’s not me – but that’s exactly what makes the difference.

I don’t come from the TV studio, but directly from practice: As Dresden Presenter I have already worked for a variety of local companies in Dresden and Saxony worked – from international chip companies to regional tour operators and real estate agents to 5-star hotels.

In addition, during my more than ten-year career in the HR and management consulting We support hundreds of companies throughout Germany, from start-ups to SMEs and DAX-listed corporations. 

I speak the language of business, companies and politics – and that of the people.

The step into self-employment

What I always liked most: presenting, moderating, winning people over – be it in workshops, webinars, pitches or at employee and customer events.
The stage was never gone—it had just shifted into the business world. ☺

Finally, I dared to take the step into the independence – with the goal of turning my passion into a career.

Today I work full-time as Business & Event Moderator, Sales & Stage Coach, Speaker as well as advertising model – and combine everything that defines me: 

stage, Business and a real feeling for people.

I invest in knowledge

continuously & with enthusiasm

Learning is a common thread throughout my life:

A high school diploma with a grade of 1, an apprenticeship as an international tourism assistant with a grade of 1.0, and a part-time tourism degree, which I completed as the best in my class, were just the beginning.

What drives me to this day is the conviction: Competence does not arise on its own – it is a conscious decision. 

That's why I continuously educate myself – through mentoring, specialist events, coaching, books, podcasts and targeted training courses.

Personally, I am full of joy and enjoy life

I'm a foodie through and through. I love food—from my mom's home cooking to Mexican street food to gourmet dinners with a good glass of wine.
I also enjoy deep conversations, yoga, good podcasts, books and music – anything that inspires and moves me.

For me, traveling is more than relaxation and enjoyment – it is lived curiosity.
Whether on safari in Africa, cooking with locals in Mexico or hiking through the South Tyrolean mountains – I love experiencing new cultures and gaining fresh perspectives.

I value humor and spontaneity as much as efficiency, determination and clear decisions.

And because I like to give something back, I also do volunteer work from time to time – e.g.B. for TEDxStuttgart, the Startup Stuttgart eV or the MakersLeague Esslingen eV
I love being part of networks where new ideas emerge, people come together and the future is shaped.
