Primary Teacher Grade 4
MOTTO:

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”- Albert Einstein.

I am born and raised in Switzerland. As a kid, I loved to be outside and play in the mud. Later I enjoyed a lot traveling and outdoor sports, like diving and hiking,

My Master degree in History and Anthropology set the ground for different and exiting work experiences. Before moving to Dubai, I run my own company for over 10 years and did my MBA in 2015.

My family has been living in Dubai for 5 years now. We came to Dubai for a new experience and a bit of an adventure. Already some years ago my husband and I lived abroad and worked as Diving Instructors in the Maldives. Now we enjoy living in Dubai with our two children, both also part of the SISD community. We love the desert and try to be outside as much as possible.

I am looking forward to teach again at SISD. The energy and curiosity of children is something I admire and like to strengthen. The ability to speak several languages will be an advantage for our kids. As a German, English and French speaker I hope to motivate children to embrace different languages.
