Why is the project Peers4You important to you?

This project is close to my heart because I think it is very important that topics which are dubbed as social “taboo topics” are de-tabooized. It is important to talk about these topics, to work together and thus to create more awareness for these topics. You should be able to move freely and openly in the context of peer conversations.

What characterizes you as a Peers4You advisor?

It is important to me that you feel you are in an informal context where you can let yourself go. You are heard and together we can try to find steps forward.

What is typical for you as a person?

My laughter, good at motivating others, good listener and spirituality/mindfulness.

What is your pursue in life?

“How you love yourself, is how you teach others to love you.” – Rupi Kaur

What is your favorite hobby?

Spirituality, reading, spending quality time with friends, family and also with myself.
