I was born on April 10, 1969, in a small village at the foothills of the high Alps.

My childhood was in no way normal. When I was a young girl, I experienced great family trauma and violence toward women.

I escaped this life by concentrating on concentration on education. Any academic discipline that was expressed through clarity and systematic orders, I find easy to relate.

At the age of 25 I studied Business Engineering at the University of Applied Science in Karlsruhe, Germany, graduating with a Master’s Degree in 2005.

In 2007 I moved to Perth, Australia, with my two sons and eventually became an Australian citizen.
