I was born in Konstanz, Germany, and I have spent my life living in three countries: Germany, the U.S., and most recently, Senegal.

Due to having lived in several countries, I speak four languages: English, Germany, French, and Wolof. Now I am in the process of learning Spanish, and hope to learn Swahili and Hebrew in the near future.

I am an avid filmmaker, philosophizer, cartooner, planner, and people-meeter, as well as a human being who enjoys hardcore immersion in new cultures.
