Personal Profile

After working and travelling around the world for the last 9 years I am now

seeking a permanent and challenging position.

I graduated in 2004 with a degree as Chemical Technician. Alongside my

studies I was working for the Degussa AG at several departments.

I am enthusiastic, adaptable, a hard worker and always willing to learn.

Key Skills

Analytical Thinking, Quality Control

At all departments of the Degussa AG we had to make sure to keep up a very

high standard of quality. Therefor it was necessary to take and analyze samples

of an ongoing process, as well as finding a solution to any occurring problem

regarding the quality of a product.

Forward Planning and Ability to Prioritize

I needed good time-management and planning skills in order to follow deadlines

and deliver a product or job in time. Therefore I sometimes had to prioritize

what needed to be done first in order to keep a process running.

Excellent Communication and Team Skills

Working as a trip leader in the outdoor adventure industry it is necessary to have

excellent communication skills and being a team player in order to handle

groups of over 100 people to get a trip running smoothly.

Proficient in Basic Plumbing, Electrical Wiring and Metal Work

As part of my education we had to learn the basics about plumbing, electrics and

metal work in order to setup a chemical process and keep it running.

Safe Work Practice

Working in the chemical industry as well as working in the outdoor adventure

industry where you are responsible for other peoples lives made it necessary to

follow very strict safety protocols. I had to be able to spot potential dangers and

finding solutions to work under as safe conditions as possible.
