When I graduated from school I decided to study History, English Literature and Sociology. Next to my studies I also became engaged in journalism. I completed an editorial traineeship at local newspaper "Baslerstab" and was an editor for student magazine of the Historical seminar.

 

After completing my university studies I completed a practical training at the Public Record Management Office of the Canton Basel-Landschaft and did some volunteer work in Ghana - I worked at the newspaper "Daily Guide" in Accra and as an IT-teacher at a girls' school in Cape Coast. Later I began my doctoral studies at the Institute for Sociology at the University of Basel. 

​

Since several years I've been working as an event and project coordinator in a multinational company. 

 

I did further training in conflict management and resolution (Diploma of Advanced Studies) and intercultural communication (Certificate of Advanced Studies).
