Personal CV

I grew up in West Africa - Dakar. Afterwards I attended the Elementary School of Queens in New York City, USA where I first experienced the American way of life. I was enrolled at the American School in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for my middle school and highschool years.

This special mix of cultures: African, American, and Brazilian life styles combined with my German family values to give me an international perspective and an appreciation for inter-cultural communication. Even today, I still love travelling to my favourite destinations in Ireland, Great Britain, USA, Brazil and also to Paris to experience different cultures, people and their life styles.



I remember with fondness my younger years at what was the most exclusive private school in South America " Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro", an international High School where I came into direct contact with the American way of life, its culture and its values. There I obtained an... American High School Diploma -Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
