I was born in a small town in Germany. At a very young age, my family moved to Munich, where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After finishing school, I moved to the United States, living in Texas and Los Angeles. In 1990, I returned to Germany. For many years, I have worked self-employed as a freelance writer for professional trade publications and as an Educator and independent Consultant in the Beauty Industry. I currently reside in Germany, but travel a lot for my promotional work all over the world.
