About me
I help others find their path, thanks to my own strength and diverse experiences across various career paths.
Despite my efforts after graduating, I had little success with job applications. Determined to find my way, I returned to university to pursue a PhD, even though it initially meant low pay. But even after earning my PhD, I was uncertain about how best to position myself outside of academia. These doubts stayed with me until I realized, late in my career, that success was not just about my technical qualifications. It was only then that new professional opportunities opened up for me.
After completing my PhD, I managed labs, developed processes, and designed systems for large industries. I worked internationally, commissioning wastewater treatment plants, wrote a technical book, and served as a project manager in China and the USA. Later, I became an assistant professor in Saudi Arabia, where I was the first woman to teach wastewater biology at a public university.

In recent years, I completed my training as a systemic DVCT-certified coach at the ICO Institute in Munich. In systemic coaching, I don’t create solutions for you—I ensure that you actively develop a solution that fits you. The key advantage: It will be your solution, your path. Nothing is imposed from the outside, and experience shows that the paths you find for yourself are the ones you walk most easily.
