I grew up with the suspension railway in Wuppertal, the stories of Astrid Lindgren, and a series of “small businesses” I ran with my sister — from a bread roll delivery service for our neighborhood to a mini art gallery and even a little gardening venture in our grandparents’ backyard. After finishing school, I moved to Münster for my studies. I began with a degree in Business and Law and later decided to focus entirely on Law. Every day, I try to make the little girl with the many colorful hair clips in her hair — the one I once was — proud of the woman I’ve become. A woman who, alongside her professional ambitions, holds on to the things she has always loved: playing tennis and swimming, painting and reading, staying close to the sea and the mountains, baking, and constantly rearranging the furniture in her apartment.
