  I started professional life as a dancer, studying dance and choreography at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany. After working with the dance company Neuer Tanz for several years, I became a Humanities scholar, studying first Germanic Language and Literature, Philosophy and Spanish at the University of Cologne, later then entering a PhD-program in Linguistics at Rutgers University, US. After finishing my PhD, I came back to Germany where I am working now at the University of Cologne as a scientific assistant. My special research interest is the relation of developing learning skills, in particular speaking and writing skills, on the one hand and bodily awareness and aesthetic experience (dance, Tanztheater) on the other.
