I am an International Project Manager at Les Têtes de l’Art, with degrees in cultural management and sociology. In the past I have worked with artists from various disciplines, as well as with organisations such as Marseille-Provence (MP) 2013, European Capital of Culture and the Avignon Festival on production issues and project development. A native of Germany, I have lived in Marseille since 2006 and have extensive experience in managing projects funded by the European Commission. As Assistant to the Director in charge of programming at MP 2013, I notably developed several cross-sectoral projects of international scope. Today, I contribute my knowledge of international collaboration to project initiatives through Les Têtes de l’Art’s advisory work and via training programmes (Goethe Institut in Tunis). I describe myself as “a creator of connections”, facilitating creative exchange between individuals and organisations from various cultural backgrounds and locations.
