I was born in Dresden. From 1979 – 1984 I lived with my parents in Damaskus, Syria, because my father worked there as an construction engineer for the GDR. 1989 before the wall came down we went on holiday to Hungary with no plans to come back. We fled to the western part of Germany. After a long internship in a TV-station I studied journalism and political science in Leipzig. 2001/02 I attended the European Film College in Denmark. 2005 I finished my studies with a diploma in journalism.In 2008I met my future husband in Damaskus, who was travelling from Korea to learn about Falafel. That our daughter was born and I started working on the documentary White Box, which had its premiere in 2010. 2011 I attended the Werkleitz Documentary Masterclass and directed a short documentary.
