CURRENT MISSION
Explore, travel and make the most out of my study abroad program in the US!

ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Germany. Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. It wasn’t about the Christmas gifts but because of the family gatherings. It was the only time of the year when my aunt with her Indian husband, my uncle with his Mexican wife, and other relatives living in Australia, the UK and US were able to get together. This wonderful international and multicultural mix characterized my growing up and I think this is why I’ve always loved traveling, learning about other cultures, and cherishing global cuisine.

After studying in Munich, Germany, I moved to sunny California to pursue a Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering. What else could you ask for than living in San Luis Obispo - the happiest city in the US!

I would describe myself as very easy going and always having a smile on my face. Convince yourself!

PHILOSOPHY
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. (By Oprah Winfrey)
