About me and my connection to France
With over 14 years of experience living and working in France, I have not only gained profound insights into the culture and working world, but have also developed a strong passion for promoting Franco-German friendship. It is a personal concern of mine to strengthen the harmonious cooperation between Germans and French. As an expert in intercultural skills, I use my knowledge and professional experience to help companies integrate international professionals and strengthen the cultural bridges between these two great nations.
