As the head of the academy, I meet individuals who are seeking personal and professional development. The objective of counselling is to ascertain which further training is most appropriate in the current situation and what the individual's desired outcomes are. For me, lifelong learning also means embracing new challenges and developing existing skills.

  • The Head of Manres Academy is responsible for the development and co-conception of further education formats for middle and senior managers.

In a nutshell

  • I love meeting new people, hearing what they have to say, swapping ideas, networking, learning from each other and building mutual relationships.
  • I'm fascinated by the sea and the ocean when it's in motion. And I'm always amazed by whales, because their strength and social behaviour never cease to impress me.
  • I share a passion with my husband for our four-legged friends, spending time outdoors and good food. Our little family is my life.
