"Cooking is a passion, enjoying an art" - this old phrase has accompanied me since the beginning of my professional career. My passions of cooking and traveling shaped my career in a relevant way. After my apprenticeship at the REHA Center, my enjoyment of working led me into catering and system gastronomy. A short detour into the banquet sector gave me further experience. My second passion, traveling, together with cooking, led me to work as a deputy practical chef on the ships of the "Mein Schiff" fleet from August 2013 to May 2017. During this time, I deepened my skills in planning and leadership; responsibility for caring guest service and complaint management as well as the implementation and processing of strict hygiene concepts, e.g. USPH and HACCP. The permanent high contact to different characters from different cultures and nations is a very special feature, which I appreciate very much. Back in my home country, due to my acquired skills in the management position, I accepted the challenge at the Swiss Hotel Management School Lucerne to become a qualified hotelier. I used this intensive study time to sharpen my professional skills in all hotel departments, both theoretically and practically. In the theoretical blocks of this training, knowledge was intensively deepened in the areas of strategic marketing, HR-M, strategic management, labor law, accounting, corporate finance, controlling and tourism, among others. In the subsequent practical phases, these skills were professionally applied and expanded in a wide variety of companies. My individual competencies and leadership skills were also sharpened during this time. Furthermore, I live a very calm, balanced, but also fair and assertive manner in my daily work. In stressful situations I always keep the overview, the view for the essential and high quality. Reliability, high resilience, as well as perseverance always belong to my profile. My leadership qualities are characterized by a necessary pinch of humor and a lot of communication, which are also very important to me. I like to encourage employees and work with them to turn weaknesses into strengths. With the SHL qualification, the practical experience and the personal development, I am now well versed in every department, know all the processes and am ready to go. Ready to go - to go full speed ahead, back to the open sea with passion, composure, alertness, foresight, intuition, responsibility, trust and willpower - towards the horizon.
