She was planned and managed, among other things, the environmental remediation of the contaminated soil for the garden project in the historic old town of Arbon, and the analysis of the building contaminants and the condition assessment of the bricks on the grounds of CU Chemie Uetikon, a chemical company located in Uetikon am See. Moreover, she was responsible for contaminated site inspections at a number of operating and landfill sites.

What is different about working at Basler & Hofmann?

The opportunity to work together with different project teams. Working in these different teams inspires and motivates me.

What other profession could you imagine yourself in – and why?

Architect. I love designing things and I am so impressed by all of the aspects that need to be considered when it comes to designing a building. It must be fascinating.
