„Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.“
Confuzius
After 12 years of employment on various sides of the event industry, I fulfilled my dream of self-employment in 2011, in order to even better leverage my wide-ranging practical knowledge and expertise. For more than 12 years now, I have been organizing events as a freelance senior project and event manager, implementation-minded event specialist, forward-looking partner and sometimes also as a trouble shooter for corporate clients, agencies, and private clients of a variety of sizes in Germany and abroad.
The basis of my work are plenty years of experience in the conception, organisation, and execution of various event formats. This includes personal contacts to numerous service providers in the MICE industry and the immense advantage that I know and understand both sides: the service provider and the client.
Can't be done, doesn't exist in my vocabulary! I love the challenge of making the impossible possible. You will always receive advice for events that is honest and solution-oriented with a clear perspective of what is possible, served with a great deal of passion.
Do you need assistance? Take advantage of 20 years of front-line and hands-on experience and an excellent network.

I began my career almost 25 years ago with a hotel management education. After my first job in a PR & marketing agency, I entered the event industry as early as 1998 and first learned the location management trade at a film company. Afterwards, I combined professional practice and in-service training at an artist and event agency and specialized practically on the side to become a certified event manager (IST) and a specialist for trade fairs, conferences and congresses (IHK). After three years I changed to a publishing house and organized well-known media events and had the opportunity to work with exciting personalities of the international film and media industry. With the diversified job as a catering manager at a Munich catering company, I completed my know-how with creative catering, equipment concepts and the perfect service. Most recently, as a parental leave substitute, I strengthened the event department of a corporate client and was able to help implement numerous international incentives. Today I have more than 20 years of practical and front-line experience and live my dream job as an event planner and location scout.
