About Me

Hi there,

I am a MSc Marketing student and currently trying to build my first blog, so please do not take offence if I get something wrong. In fact, I am happy for you to tell me your thoughts, ideas and even improvement suggestions – it is all about learning.

Having been born and brought up in Zurich, Switzerland (no, not in Sweden and even if I’m blond…) I have work experience in the sectors of  promotion, direct marketing, events management and gastronomy starting at the age of 16. I’ve done my A-Levels (actually, the equivalent – Gymnasium) in languages and hence, I speak six languages. Languages are sort of my passion because I love connecting with new people, travelling and seeing the world. Therefore, the ability to communicate with people in their own language seems very important to me in order to connect properly with other cultures and to be able to exchange real life experiences.

After my A-Levels I’ve travelled a lot, worked winter seasons in order to do snowboarding and in summer I was off to see the world. That was a fantastic lifestyle and I really did enjoy it! I guess I found myself in a position where I was not sure what exactely I want to do in my life, so I just lived for the moment, enjoyed life to the full and each day was an adventure. At some point I found out that it is possible to study Events Management (I know in some countries that is a common term, but Switzerland did not offer anything like that at that time and even by now there is nothing at university level, which I think is a shame, and not really contemporary) and it seemed like I knew immediately what I want to do next.

Finally, I found myself one year later at a university (ANGELL Akademie) in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany studying Events Management for two years. It was great and very exciting to be back at “school”, after working and travelling for a couple of years. After two years I have decided to move to Leeds and finish off my Bachelor degree at the Leeds Metropolitan University in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. On completion of my Bachelor degree I swapped from Events Management to Marketing in order to to broaden my field of knowledge and am really enjoying it. So here I am now, trying to start up a blog and connect to the world!
