At this point, I should typically include a classic professional bio, but it won’t fully capture who I am or what you can expect from me. Above all, I’m a very empathetic person with a great sense of humor and a sense of detachment from today’s fast-paced world. I greatly value meeting new people—both individually and in groups. I’m always curious about the stories people share. My curiosity about the world’s people grows stronger with age. Working as a psychologist is my true passion, which, after more than a decade of experience, only becomes more compelling. Regardless of the type of work I pursue, I see people first and foremost. Personally, I’m a dog lover and a lover of all kinds of animals, with a passion for history and surrealism.
