Curious who I am?

Curiosity & Learning

have been a constant throughout my life. I’ve always been curious, always enjoyed learning, and at some point became curious about how learning works.

Learning processes are absolutely fascinating. I’ve always enjoyed engaging in them myself and pursuing many of my interests.

Teaching is another exciting experience. I’ve always wanted to know not only how something works, but also how I can pass on my knowledge to others.

For me, the icing on the cake is the “creative learning process,” for example in music or art. I don’t believe in talent, but in curiosity. In the ability to ask questions and find answers, even if it’s arduous.

I have been making music since early childhood. My professional qualifications have given me a different perspective on my musical learning. What needs to be understood cognitively – and how do I get “knowledge” into my muscle memory?

And because I’m so fascinated by all of this, I’m also learning to sketch. I want to know how it works. And how I can learn it.

Projects

My curiosity led me to explore computers: I learned to program in COBOL on an IBM 3090 running MVS, but switched to personal computers in the early nineties. I then started teaching how PCs work and how MVS differs from DOS… 😉

After an exciting time as an IT project manager, my curiosity about the corporate field was satisfied; I knew I wanted to study further and become self-employed.

My freelance projects were all about online learning – a perfect way to combine my IT knowledge and my studies.

After 25 years of self-employment, I am now in early retirement and have time to tackle all the projects I am still curious about.

Wonder. Find out. Write.
