I am passionate about my work as a researcher, but I also have many interests outside of academia. These include hot air ballooning, figure skating, travelling, drawing, and playing the piano. In addition, I greatly value spending time with my family, my two sons, and friends.
Hot air balloons
From a young age, I have been fascinated by hot air balloons. They are so majestic and carry a sense of mystery. As a farmer’s daughter, I was always deeply impressed whenever a hot air balloon happened to land on our property.
For almost 10 years, I have been an active member of the ground crew of the Hot-R hot air balloon team. My responsibilities include preparing the balloon for flight, tracking it during the journey, and coordinating the packing process after landing.
We also make international trips with our balloons — Austria and France, in particular, are destinations I will never forget!
