Growing up in the small skiing town of Churwalden, it soon became clear to me that I wanted to explore the big wide world. After my business apprenticeship working in the insurance industry, California was in my sights and I lived there for almost two years. I then went to Majorca, where I worked as a sports leader in a hotel. It was there that I met my husband from London, and I am now the proud mother to two grown-up daughters. For me there is nothing better than when the whole family is sitting together on the ski lift. I keep myself fit by skiing, hiking, going to the gym and working in the garden.

My main priority is always to enjoy what I do. I worked for 14 years in various roles in tourism, sales, marketing and recruitment. Being the managing director of a furniture business and co-founder of a call centre also formed part of my career.

In 2001 I founded the company callcentric, now known as IBEX, and my focus at that time was on telephone training and sales training courses. Since then, my range of services has expanded to include personal development. The traits that distinguish me from others include following the unconventional path, spontaneity and the courage to take on new challenges.

I love my job and love helping people to get the best out of themselves.

Originally from the mountains of the canton of Graubünden, I now live on the beautiful canton of Lucerne. Skiing is my biggest passion and as I’m crazy about sport, choosing the Sport course at the Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality was an easy decision. During this apprenticeship, I raced for the FIS British National Ski Team. However, chronic injury forced me to hang up my ski boots.

After completing a business apprenticeship, I gained a range of valuable experience as a customer advisor at a fitness gym in Zurich, as trainee radio presenter, on a six-month trip around the world and in assistant roles working for an insurance broker. My roles also included sales jobs, temporary work in catering and a job as a ski instructor. I am currently working as an event manager for an asset manager in the heart of Zurich while I complete my training to become a bso coach/supervisor in Luzern at the same time.

I still enjoy taking part in amateur ski races and I love the adrenaline rush when I’m leaving my comfort zone and plummeting down the Schilthorn, for example. As an extrovert, I get a great deal of my energy from talking to people, which explains why family, friends, travel and live music all mean so much to me.

Being able to help people on their path, to watch them grow, create value and progress is something that is very close to my heart.

The Grisons and London blood in my veins encouraged my openness to different cultures and people from an early age. Sport, singing, my friends and family are an important part of my life.

During my 3-year apprenticeship in the tourism industry, I was able to gain valuable knowledge in customer service, sales, marketing and team building. As a former track and field athlete with big goals and intensive training, school and work, it was not always easy to meet all expectations. I often met my limits.

Psychology and mindset have fascinated me for a long time and so I tried to get my life back under control through time management, external coaching and mental training.

My plan didn’t work out and I barely didn’t pass the academic part of the final examination. I quickly became aware that I didn’t want to repeat the exam. This met with a lot of disapproval by people outside my family. “Without a certificate you are nothing.” “You will fail.” “You have no chance in the job market.” However, I knew I was worth more than just a diploma.

Shortly after, I injured myself at the Swiss Championships and it felt like I was failing in everything I was doing. Self-doubt and an inner emptiness resulted. With disciplined mental training and a positive environment, I was able to turn this setback into an opportunity and I realised that these hurdles were bringing me closer to my dream job, which is coaching athletes, students and young people.

During my internship at IBEX, I was able to gain numerous practical experiences in team building and mindset from students to CEOs.

With these skills and my Life Coach CPD Diploma, I mainly coach athletes, students and young people. I guide them on their path to success or share methods on how they can emerge stronger from a setback.

In August 2020, I completed a Social Media Marketing CPD Diploma with Techpixie and I am now responsible for marketing at IBEX. My goal is to expand my marketing knowledge, so since September 2021 I have been working part-time at the beautiful Schweizerhof Flims as an Event and Marketing Assistant and since October 2022 as a Marketing and Growth Manager at Quarero AG.

My goal is to be a role model for all generations and to inspire people with my story.
