Dynamic assistant teacher at First Lutheran English Preschool with a strong background in nursing and art therapy. Skilled in fostering connections with neurodivergent students through creative problem-solving and empathetic communication. Committed to supporting children's growth and well-being, leveraging personal recovery experience to inspire resilience and hope.
After I received my degree in nursing at the Allgemeines Krankenhaus Ochsenzoll, a Hospital with focus on psychiatry and physiotherapy in the 90’s I broadened my experience as registered nurse in Germany includes working at the Bernhard-Nocht Institute for tropical and infectious diseases and I worked until my oldest son was born in 2010 at the University Hospital of Hamburg Eppendorf, In Urology.
My husband and I immigrated to the USA in 2011, my husband was offered a position at JHU, Department of Epidemiology.
In 2013 I had twins, and was a stay at home mother until I started my current position as assistant teacher at First English Lutheran Preschool in Baltimore. I am currently employed in part time.
I am experienced in working with neurodivergent students, I was the one on one teacher for different students.
I am also in alcoholic in recovery for almost 6 years sober and active in AA.
This February/ March I was a patient at Sheppard Pratt inpatient and outpatient.
My recovery has been stable.
Through my work as a nurse, mother of three children 15 and 12 year old twins, assistant teacher with extensive training in the Mariposa Method ( Mariposaeducation.org),
my personal experience being an alcoholic, getting sober by my self in 2020, now actively working in AA and my personal experience at Sheppard Pratt, I believe I can be of good service to patients. I especially enjoy working with children.
Please feel free to consult the wonderful staff at the outpatient clinic.
Kind regards,
