About me

I have dealt with peace as an academic for a long time. I love the topic because I find it meaningful and important, and because I am fascinated to see time and again how a well led conflict does not necessarily lead to destruction but can instead create releasing change. I have a PhD from the Department of Peace Studies of the University of Bradford (U.K.), and I have lived and worked in Germany, the U.K., El Salvador, and Honduras. 

At some point, I realised I was not satisfied with thinking, researching, and teaching about conflicts; instead I wanted to shape and experience transformation processes myself. Thus, I continued my education by training as a conflict consultant and coach for two years. Also, I have two children who have taught me a lot about constructive arguing. Now, I use not only my knowledge but my practical experience and my perception to work with peacebuilders. I live in Leipzig, Germany, but I like travelling and I work in Germany, internationally an online.
