I'm psychologist and learning experience designer. Before that I used to do a lot of other interesting (at least for an introvert) things: wrote articles for a big glossy magazine, worked in a bookstore, lead a movieclub etc

My hobbies are reading, movies, contact improvisation and somatic practices, occasional traveling.
I have a decent level of English (C2/C1), but my German is currently at zero level.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a flood in a bookstore. Twice. And I also helped to deal with its consequences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm educational psychologist so I know a lot about how people learn, how our memory works, what you should and shouldn't do to make your learning time more effective. I'm also certified trainer in Edward de Bono thinking (Six Hats, Lateral Thinking etc). So if you want to know something about that, I'd be glad to share.
