I was born on December 7, 1979 in Lienz, East Tyrol , where I lived until I graduated from high school. I have been in Vienna since I was 17 and studied medicine for seven semesters before switching to psychology and pedagogics.
I like dealing with people and enjoy my work because it gives me the chance to encounter a wide variety of different personalities. Apart from that I also have the opportunity to learn about a great many instruments and to watch professional arrangers and musicians at work.
The Vienna Symphonic Library project is just fascinating, and the working atmosphere and team spirit here are particularly nice.
Born into a family of enthusiastic singers in Carinthia I´ve been singing in choirs for as long as I can remember. Other musical training: guitar; degree course in musicology at Vienna University since 1999.
Prior to this my career plan was completely different: I studied Russian and journalism with communication science at Vienna University, where I learned to write copy in a scientific way. From 1992 I worked as a journalist and created concepts in the field of media, and as a translator and interpreter for Russian and German.
While studying I became interested in classical music, developing a taste for Beethoven and Schubert then baroque and romantic music (it was Valery Gergiev who first showed me the delights of Wagner). My main area of interest is Russian composers. Since 2000 I´ve been learning piano and devoting a great deal of time to instruments.
