Originally from Germany, I studied medicine at the Universities of Regensburg and Berlin.

After completing my training as a vocational GP and working in an urban GP practice in Germany, our family of five decided to try something new and moved to New Zealand for one year - our idea of an OE. Seven years on we are still here and loving it!

When I am not at work I love spending time with my family, preferably out on the Waitemata Harbour or tramping New Zealand's great outdoors.
