I give intercultural trainings, Yoga trainings and I do research in Intercultural communication and Quality of Life. I am a trained and practicing yoga teacher (RYT 500) which allows me to combine yoga research and practice. I obtained my PhD at the Saarland University (Germany) in Cultural Studies and Intercultural Communication. My doctoral thesis focused on qualitative research to identify different training methods in intercultural settings. I worked as Lecturer and Research Associate in international projects and intercultural communication for many years.

I currently work as Secretary General @ the Glion Colloquium (University of Geneva), an informal five- day meeting of university presidents worldwide. Its aim is to take time for reflecting on the future of learning and research at universities, as well as their role to enhance a sustainable future in the world.
