She went on to achieve an advanced degree in health economics, and worked in this field professionally.

Through travelling extensively and living abroad, she has become a curator, photographer, and a filmmaker. She worked with the distribution of the US/Honduran documentary ‚La Finca Humana‘ in the US and Germany, and shot and directed her own feature doc, entitled ‚Two Mothers‘ in Vietnam.
