I’m motivated by the prospect of using my skills in ways that are directly useful to heritage professionals. I’m driven by the collaborative spirit of the project that bridges countries and disciplines and am motivated to bring my spatial analysis skills to bear in ways that are directly useful to heritage authorities.
In her free time Friederike enjoys travelling, bouldering, reading crime novels and impressionist art.
