Summary

Creative and compassionate professional with a diverse background in acting, luxury retail, administration, and early childhood education. Originally from Germany, I bring over 10 years of experience in performance and client engagement, along with hands-on work in educational settings that nurture children through creativity and emotional connection. I studied acting intensively in Germany and internationally, and continue to draw on that training in both artistic and educational settings. Since relocating to the U.S., I’ve supported young learners as a kindergarten assistant in Los Angeles and embraced the role of a homestay mother. I’m currently expanding into the healing arts, building a new business centered on breathwork and mindful connection.
