And by the way:

  • She likes to keep the “big picture” in mind to really get to the bottom of things 

  • Her home library is well stocked with Pythagoras, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Hermann Hesse and Rupert Sheldrake.  

  • Her best recipes are Vorad’lberger Käsknöpfle and baked chicken filets. 

  • The birds in the garden are pampered from September to April, so they are very chatty. 

  •  Her greatest happiness is her family and cat Nala.
