Interests

Personally, I am very interested in psychology and philosophy. I like to ask why and try to look at topics from all angles. Therefore i like reading, debating with friends, podcasts and events.

My other passion in life is cooking. It can happen that I spend days in the kitchen.

Haute cuisine is for me a welcome challenge ;)

I achieve work-life balance by spending time in nature hiking, biking or horseback riding. In the future I would like to have more time for mindfulness and meditation.
