My professional development was not planned this way, but fortunately it has come together well for me. I can often transfer the various activities and the respective experiences from one area to another, so that the diversity ultimately also benefits my clients/mediators/customers and students.

I completed my legal exams and Master of Laws in Bonn, Pennsylvania and Munich. Parallel to my legal clerkship, I was able to complete a doctorate in labour law. I initially worked in a commercial law firm and in the automotive industry, but quickly realised that I was more interested in interpersonal issues.

That is why I have been working in my own law firm since 1999, specialising in family law. I also trained as a mediator at the Eidos Projekt in Munich in 1999 and have since attended numerous training courses on this subject. This was followed in 2005 by supervision training with Hannelore Diez IMS Munich. Since 2008, I have been teaching both legal topics and mediation at the Catholic Foundation College for Social Work in Munich. In 2013, I added training in co-operative practice.

I have also been able to contribute my knowledge on a voluntary basis as a mediator at the Office for Community Mediation SteG at Munich City Hall and until 2018 on the board of the MediationsZentrale München.

Our 3 children are now grown up and studying all over Germany. Mediations and meetings therefore take place in my “garden office building” in Harlaching.

It is also important to me that as many people as possible feel addressed by this homepage. It’s nice that life is colourful.
