A Bit About Me
I was born and spent the biggest part of my life in Germany, before my husband and I decided in 2019 to move to the US. Now we are living with our two dogs, a bunch of chickens, a cat and a horse in the beautiful countryside of Indiana.
I started my career as an SAP Consultant in 2014 after I was working as a procurement manager for about 14 years in a variety of industries. I love to find solutions for requirements to make the daily work a bit easier. Even if I am very used to work independently, I can call myself a team player, always having the bigger goal in mind.
