I joined the WordPress community in 2016 – during a four-year sabbatical to take care of my mental health – and it was life-changing!
I quit my former job as a government administrator, left my home country Luxembourg, and threw myself into WordCamp volunteering, organizing, and speaking while traveling the world.
Furthermore, I quickly became an advocate for positive mental health, diversity, and inclusion in tech.
Recently, I joined Yoast as a Culture & Recruitment Strategist after finding my passion in taking team culture and recruitment marketing to the next level.
I am also the Head of CloudFest Hackathon, enabling the setting of milestones for open-source projects at the leading conference for cloud computing.
In the past few years, I have worked in various roles at several companies in the WordPress industry, including a leading WebOps platform and a renowned WordPress agency.
My current home base is in a rural region of Germany, where I share my partially digital nomadic life with my husband and #BuffyTheDog, who I successfully trained to be my certified psychiatric service dog.
The contrast and variety between quiet country life and adventurous travels around the world, all while working remotely, have proven to be a true source of inspiration for me.
