Soccer has always been very important in my life and it has made me to travel and see the world. Having left Kriens for Sursee I became a member of the Swiss national team. Scouts spotted my talent and I was given the opportunity to go and live, study and play soccer in the United States. At the Ohio State University I had a wonderful time.  

In 2008 I came back to Switzerland with a degree Bachelor of Science International Business and also with a lot of human and soccer experience. I made my come back in the Swiss League with FC Zürich Frauen but my goal was to reach higher again. I found a new challenge in signing for Olympique Lyonnais in France where I could also perfect speaking french. The first months I had to adapt to the lifestyle and habits in a new city and environment. Being eliminated in the semi finals of the UEFA Women's Cup by FCR 2001 Duisburg was a disappointment but at the end of the season we won the French league title so we were present in the new UEFA Women's Champions League! 

This new competition dominated my first full season in France and brought a new highlight to my career when we reached the final in Getafe in May 2010. In Spain we didn't win the trophy but we came very close as we were only denied in the penalty shoot-out by winners Turbine Potsdam. In June 2010 we prolonged our French league title so we were there again to challenge for our first European trophy and in May 2011 at Craven Cottage we made history and won our first ever European silverware. I even scored the second goal in the UWCL final  at Fulham. Now we have to defend our trophy as well as our French league title so the coming season will be full of excitement  again as the road to Sweden 2013 also starts. After missing out on last summer's FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany I don't have to say how much I would like to be at the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 with my country Switzerland. That is another challenge for the coming months.

On this website you can read about my career, you can see pictures, you can watch me play, you can find press releases and you will be updated with the latest news of the coming season. In my diary I will regularly tell you about my views, my feelings and everything else that is important to me. Of course I hope that the new season will bring as much adventure, emotion, tension and pleasure as the many years I have been in soccer before. So have fun when you surf through all this pages
