Since being a little girl Frances is fascinated by foreign countries and their cultures. She was always curious about travelling with her parents and seeing the world from a different angle. After graduating high school this curiosity lead her to the USA where she worked as an Au pair for one year.
Afterwards she started to study Tourism Management back in her home country Germany, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2013. During her time at University, Frances gained experience in the Product management and Sales department of an Online Holiday home provider and accomplished an internship in Italy. Driven by her passion about tourism and foreign languages, Frances went after graduation for one year to Spain, working among others in the Marketing department of a Spanish Incoming Tour operator. This is why she decided to enhance her theoretical knowledge in the field of Marketing and commence a Master Programme in Tourism Management and Marketing.
During her time at Bournemouth University, Frances became a member of the eTourism lab. She is proud of being involved and working with a high enthusiastic team of tourism professionals. Currently, she is undertaking research in the area of Augmented Reality and its potential for Destination Marketing.
