I'm a full-time project manager, part-time marshmallow tree cultivator and have officially added 'children's book author' to my list of LinkedIn titles. While originally from Germany, I now call the US home and peppered my debut children's book, 'How to Grow a Marshmallow Tree,' with a blend of transatlantic charm and humor. I believe in the power of make-believe play to unlock creativity, resilience, and problem-solving skills in children. Each of my stories is an ode to this playful world of pretend, a world where marshmallow trees grow, grumpy polar bears talk and mystic water creatures bow to children.
