She was born in Kuwait and spent most of her formative years in different countries in the Middle East. She studied Slavonic Studies, Comparative Literature, Business Administration and Media Studies in Berlin, Moscow and the UK. This background provided the basis for her first successful exhibition series on languages and multiculturalism, which have been organised in a number of European cities such as Berlin, Budapest, London, Warsaw, Moscow and Prague since 1988. She has been organising education events in all parts of the world, such the ONLINE EDUCA Conference series whose flagship, OEB Global in Berlin, she co-launched in 1995. The annual event is regarded as the key networking event of the international e-learning industry. ONLINE EDUCA MADRID, first held in 2000, expanded the palette to the Spanish-speaking e-learning community. She founded eLearning Africa in 2005 which has taken place in Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Accra, Dakar, Lusaka, Dar es Salaam, Cotonou, Windhoek, Kampala, Addis and Cairo, Port Louis, Kigali and Abidjan.
