Has a number of ways of unwinding after work. Sometimes she can be found high up on the climbing wall, sometimes deep under water with diving equipment. She's now planning to take up skiing again and apart from her own sporting activities she is also a Borussia Dortmund fan...

Always enjoys a change of perspective – sometimes exploring the Ruhr region by bike and spending her time in the summer on the shores of Lake Como, her favourite place.

Loves in-your-face clothing and matching accessories – shoes and handbags are an important part of her life, she says. In the summer she takes it easy at the ClubMED or Robinson Club.
