ABOUT ME...

Whenever I'm asked for my profession, I'm not quite sure what to answer because I happen to have two professions  simultaneously...

I studied English and history at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz from 2007-2014. After my studies, I decided to do my PhD in American Studies which I completed in 2018. 
During my time at Johannes Gutenberg University, I had the privilege of participating in exchange programs with Edinburgh University in Scotland (2010) and Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA, USA (2015-16), where I worked as an exchanged lecturer for two semesters. After completing my dissertation, I did my 18 months teacher training at a "Gymnasium" close to Bonn. 
Today, I work as a teacher at a vocational college for deaf and hearing impaired students in Essen. I enjoy teaching and love the additional challenge of sign language in the EFL classroom. 

However, I also have a second profession: for more than a decade, I've been working as a freelance artist. 
I've worked with all kind of customers and publishers. In 2019, I branched out into "graphic recording" and visualization, as well as live visualisations on stage accompanying talks / sermons. I enjoy creating art while processing a talk/speech. 

Occasionally, I also offer workshops on sketchnotes, as well as handlettering and drawing people.
