We look very much forward to working with Anne and have so many questions…

What was your first job?

I worked for a company that sells medical equipment such as heart valves. It was pretty interesting to see the extent of medical development.

Breakfast or dinner?

Hard one to choose, depends on the content of my fridge.

What do you cook when you spontaneously have friends over for dinner?

Too much according to them. Something Italian. Oregano must be an ingredient for sure. People never leave my home hungry.

Mountains or Seaside?

I love the steadfastness of mountains, but also the freedom the ocean promises. Find and love a place that combines both.

I would love to have a conversation with K. T. Guttenberg, Barack Obama and Markus Lanz.

The Mile High City – Denver, Colorado.
