Claudia has achieved a PhD in Medicine, and she ranked among the top of their peers in Germany.

Claudia embraces all nature has to offer and enjoys hiking whenever she can. Walking both the Milford and Routeburn tracks have been highlights so far and now with the recent addition of her GSP puppy Milo to the family, they head out most weekends exploring dog friendly trails, trying to keep up with Milo!
