Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My Vizsla mix Benny has been by my side since 2016, sharing not only many everyday situations but also my passion for dog training. Through him, I discovered dummy training and came across positive reinforcement training through fairtrain—an approach that immediately convinced me and has had a lasting impact on my understanding of working with dogs.
Over time, I developed a desire to gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical background of learning behavior and communication between humans and dogs. With Mumi's support, I decided to train as a dog trainer. Today, I am an IBH-licensed dummy trainer and have completed my training as a dog trainer at ATN. At fairtrain, I place particular emphasis on respectful, clear, and motivating interaction with humans and dogs—both in training and in everyday life.
In addition to my work as a dog trainer, I have been managing the Swiss Finance Museum in Zurich since December 2016. In addition to the classic tasks of corporate management—from budget planning and employee management to cooperation and strategic orientation—my focus is on the further development of the museum's content. This includes designing new exhibitions, promoting financial education for children, young people, and adults, and expanding digital formats to attract visitors and impart knowledge.
Previously, I worked in the financial sector for almost ten years, most recently as Head of Marketing and Public Relations at the global index provider STOXX Ltd. I studied humanities and politics at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt and Sacramento State University in California, and I hold an MBA in International Communications from Quadriga University in Berlin.
