I completed my B.A. in Music with Concentrations in German Studies and Psychology at Kalamazoo College and the University of Bonn, Germany. I subsequently completed a post-graduate Artist Diploma in Composition and Electronic Music at the University of Music and the Performing Arts in Stuttgart, Germany. I was employed a Senior Lecturer and Media Specialist at the School of Design in Pforzheim, Germany for over 20 years. I held major-level courses in Sound Art, Media Design, and Sound for Multimedia Designers, and supervised and mentored B. A. and M.A. level design students. I have extensive and profound knowledge of German culture and everyday life, superb command of the language and deep insights into German society, history, and the educational system. I look forward to being able to guide young people by passing on my knowledge of German culture, language and literature, in music and the arts, as well as mathematics, computer skills, and further subjects.
