Биография
As a trained romance philologist (linguistics and literature), I was at home in the academic world for a long time. During an assistantship in the Romance Studies Department at the University of Zurich, I was able to train students, conduct scientific research, and work towards a doctorate in French Literature of the Middle Ages.
At the same time, I enjoyed teaching French and Latin at various high schools and in between translating and/or reviewing various texts.
After the birth of my son, my focus lay primarily in the field of marketing, content creation, and web publishing. I, subsequently, worked as a German teacher for young refugees. Since 2017, I have been writing texts sporadically for the Swiss youth hostels and, since 2019, I have been working as an Author and editor for the Foundation Diet and Health Switzerland.
Мотивация
Nowadays it is not so easy to find objective and well-researched information about healthy eating. The flood of information on the internet is often overwhelming, and numerous sites uncritically spread what is currently circulating as popular nutrition trends. At diet health, I can actively contribute to transparent education that is committed to human health and the environment – and not idealise a temporary trend.
I like to refine my dishes with fresh herbs and with aromatic spices, but with little salt. The corrections to the ingredient texts regularly inspire me to try out new flavours.
