About me

As a learning & development professional and e-learning specialist/instructional designer with an (educational) background in business (administration) and English, diverse interests and experiences, I consider myself to be somebody who provides services to all those at the Institute for Business Education who want to enhance the content of their courses with (multimedia) elements of eLearning or mLearning

In addition, I am happy to be able to contribute with my language skills and my experience in web design to the homepage of the Institute for Business Education.

With a passion for the medium film (and the belief that you can learn with and from movies!), I am particularly happy that I have been able to contribute the English subtitles for the Austrian film with additional value - Blockbuster – A Life in Moving Pictures!

Just as there is a story behind every movie, there are also stories about each of the entries under Professional Experience and Lifelong Learning that have shaped me - some that I cherish, but of course also some that it would rather like to forget ...

My motto: "Keep your Feet on the Ground and Keep Reaching for the Stars." by Casey Kasem, who always ended his American Top 40 (= English-language memory from my youth) like that ...
