I was born in Germany and grew up in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, France), South Africa, and the United States (Tucson, Arizona).

I speak fluent German and French, some Spanish, and a small amount of sign language.

My hobbies include Taiji, inline skating, SCUBA diving, downhill skiing, tap dancing, and crocheting.

I love spending my time with good friends and family, good conversation, and good food. But nothing beats a cozy evening together with my husband, Tom, and my daughter, Lexie.
