I spent years chasing the wind on the world tour. These days, I’m learning to read it all over again on a foil. Off the water, I work in events and marketing in Kiel, host events and make content for brands.

My Story
I grew up far from the sea, in Göttingen and Brussels. By the time I finished studying politics and philosophy in England, I knew what I wanted to do next. I wanted to windsurf full time. That decision took me around the world on the PWA tour, to two IFCA world titles and eventually to an Olympic campaign in iQFOiL.
Some of my favourite moments in windsurfing came in Bodrum, where I ran my own centre for ten years. I loved helping people find their feet on a board, and I still enjoy working out what will make the next session click for someone.
These days, I’m a mum, and when I get out on the water I’m usually figuring something out on a SUP foil or with a parawing. I like being a beginner at something again. I work in events and marketing at Kieler Yacht-Club, and hosting on social media at Kieler Woche reminded me how much I enjoy bringing people into a sport I love.
