Get to know me!

All about that knowledge...
​
I am a passionate educator, reader, and nerd. I love reading books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs as well as listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos or TED talk on topics ranging from marketing strategies and international relations to TV series like Westworld and The Crown. 

History Rocks!!! 
One of my many true loves (apart from my darling husband David, our Cairn terrier Tiger, and our Kurat cat Grayson) is the study of U.S. history and culture. More than two decades ago, in the lovely German city Munich, I enrolled in an American Studies program, using it as a launching pad for my career as Germany's next top movie critic and public intellectual.

A Life's Journey
Needless to say, life took many turns, and after graduating with my Ph.D. in American Studies as a  Fulbright scholar and recipient of other fellowships and accolades,  I ended up marrying a U.S. citizen and settling in Maryland, close to our nation's capital.

Brain Explosion!!!
I have so many things that interest me that I sometime feel my head wil explode - I am sure you all can relate. There is soooooooooooo much good stuff out there, about so many amazing people and their passions. 

What's the point of all this?
Renaissancefrau.com is my attempt to capture the whirl of all things that interest me and to explore my interest. Renaissancefrau.com is also pretty self-serving. I finally decided to pay for my own web domain, to get motivated into writing on a daily basis, sharing my insights with the word, doing my part to stay educated and educate others!
