In 2000, I moved to Germany with my Berlin-born husband with whom I have four children. I still work part-time in the technical industry, but every free minute I spend running and taking part in races of all distances, including the 257-km Marathon des Sables across the Sahara Desert and the Polar Circle Marathon, or simply writing about my adventures.
In 2018, I was the first international woman in the Everest Marathon, the highest marathon in the world.
I am an enthusiastic vegan and encourage a healthy lifestyle not only within my family but also through motivational speaking in companies, at sporting events and for local charities. Public speaking events (in either English or German) include a discussion on ‘Quality in Endurance Sports’ at Continental Corporation, Regensburg; and ‘How Can Role Models Motivate Others?’ at the Annual Meeting of Retired Professional Athletes, Schwandorf, Germany.
My first book, Ultramarathon Mom: From the Sahara to the Arctic, was released in April 2018. The second book, Running Everest: Adventures at the Top of the World, was released in April 2020.
