Insights about my professional life
Subsequently to completing my studies, I worked as a trained biologist and pedagogue in the research area. After different jobs in the research area and IT Sector, I had the opportunity to fulfill a professional dream with my small, extraordinary company.
In autumn 2016, I founded a dog service with a unique concept in Solingen in the middle of the extensive nature reserves nearby the Wupper.
In addition to a small mobile dog daycare (HuTa) atHund&Eule - SchäferwagenI sold Natural and organic products for dogs and operated adog ice cream palorwith sustainably produced dog ice cream. In addition, I had a Gassi Service for certain urban areas in Solingen and Leverkusen.
At www.bergische-waldstreuner.deI set up a small, regional leisure portal in which I could, among other things, introduce myself and my co-operation partners. In this context, I was also active in the field of nature tourism. My programme of events included a guided tour along the Wupper with information on local history and ecology and several hikes with a nature and experience pedagogical concept.
The Hund&Eule - Schäferwagenserved as accommodation for my dog day care, as a starting point for my tours and as an information and sales room during my market and event participations. The main stand of the shepherd's car was located inSolingen-Glüder.
With my shepherd's car, the dog ice cream parlour and my sales and information stands, I regularly participated in regional and supra-regional events focusing on dog and human welfare, nature conservation, animal welfare, sustainability and natural history education.
Especially at spring and summer events, my mobile dog ice cream palor was very popular and often one of the highlights of the event.
My entire concept was aimed at rousing interest in nature and promoting its appreciation, following on from the very original relationship between man, dog and wolf.
In addition to my commercial activities, I volunteered in the field of nature and animal welfare, cooperated with the local animal welfare associations and made close contact with the local NABU group.
Since September 2019, I have interrupted my commercial activity for further education and study. At the moment, in addition to my further education, I am mainly involved in voluntary work and I am also working on freelance projects in the field of education and journalism.
