“I am Germany’s first female cruise ship captain and role model in the German shipping industry. As a woman in a technical profession, it is important to me to be a role model and show that leadership positions at sea and on land are achievable for everyone. In addition to my professional passion for the maritime world, I love sailing, art and sport – they give me the balance and inspiration that I also value in my everyday professional life. My goal is to share my experiences and encourage others to boldly follow their own paths.”
