A human that cares
I'm passionate about improving the human experience and using tech for good. I believe in a world where humans & nature can coexist in balance. As an advocate of sustainable change and the Agile mindset, I focus on people, starting small, and strong feedback loops.
Shapeshifter for value
I'm curious by nature and like learning new skills to make a greater impact. I've acquired a flexible skillset and use a unique blend of skills to make a difference - basically I combine my technical skills with Agile Delivery, User Experience, Coaching & Mentoring skills and add a sprinkle of Creative Design - you can find out more about my work in each of these areas listed on the landing page.
Career switcher from Germany
After initially starting my worklife as a Physiotherapist in Germany, I relocated to the UK to be with my partner (now husband). This has led me down an unexpected yet refreshing new path - and made me find my real passion: Working in Technology!I've not looked back since my transition although Physiotherapy as a profession has taught me many invaluable life lessons that I am still grateful for. I strongly believe in "mens sana in corpore sana" and will always advocate for a good balance between mental and physical activity.
Shapeshifting for value: What this looks like
Ideally I'd like to work for places where I can help to use tech for good, or where I can flex my skillset to make a positive impact - here are a few examples for roles and focus areas:
| Roles | Focus area |
|---|---|
| Change Manager, Agile Coach, Transformation Specialist, Program Manager | Making first steps/progress towards positive change, continuous improvement, driving best practises |
| Product Manager, Business Analyst, Product Owner | Discover & build new, greener, and/or more human-centric solutions for your product, operations or service |
| UX researcher, Customer Success Manager, Journey Manager | Understand and improve your customers/employees experience |
| Trainer, Content Designer, Speaker, Event/Marketing Manager | Drive brand and change through engaging approaches, events and content |
| Delivery/Project Manager | Getting stuff done and being the connective tissue between departments - particularly in start-ups until you identify where and who to hire as SMEs |
