I was born in Lima, Perú. At the age of 18 I went to Germany to live for a year with a german family as an Au-Pair-Girl. I liked it in Germany so much, so I went back, this time to study. Industrial Design should it be, it took me almost by surprise. I was admitted at the HBK in Brunswick, Germany. I was able to finance my studies with most different activities, but I liked the one at La Vigna the most. A small bistro and wine shop in the middle of the city, I got to know and love wine, Italy and its gastronomy. Soon I knew our wine range and what would match so well, that my recommendations were taken as seriously as those of Hans-Helmut, my boss and colleague. I would even substitute him during his vacacion on two ocassions.
During my diploma thesis I met my husband and partner and so I stayed in Germany for good. Now I work as a textile and accessories designer for a large company in the region. I also make sure that the appearance of our brands at the POS looks coherent and professional. I fill my leisure time with my passion for foreign languages and fascinating, strong people, with whom I work in multiple projects and for whom I also translate and interpret around the world. -

Wine and Italian Gourmet Food ConsultantBrunswick, GermanyJul 2004 - Oct 2010 (6 years 3 months)Wine and Italian Gourmet Food Consultant/ Salesperson and Waitress at La Vigna e.K., specialist shop for italian wine, gourmet food and gastronomic specialities.
After a few years I would substitute my boss two times he was on vacation. I organized the waitresses and waiters and the shifts, at the end of the day I balanced the cash, deposit the money in the bank account, make the orders for wine and food if something in the shop was empty, and take care that everything went all right during the time he was not there. I would have loved to take over at some time, but I find a job I love in the area I studied: design :) -
