General information
My mum was born in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, as a child I was not very willing to learn a second language. At the age of 13 I was annoyed about my incompetence of speaking english and I decided to go to a private boarding school in England.

At the age of 18, I decided to return to Switzerland and do an apprenticeship in computer programming. After successfully completing my apprenticeship I received the chance to do a career change and work as a securities administrator.

Three years later I decided to start my part time studies at the university “Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, FHNW” in Brugg/Windisch. Half way through my studies I took the opportunity to work in the training & coaching department of SIX SIS, supporting software development projects and training securities administrators.
