CONSTANZE, PATIENT-CARE COORDINATOR (A.K.A., "Coko") |
| |
Born in beautiful Ludwigsburg, Germany and raised in the Rheinland Pfalz region and Stuttgart, Constanze was torn between archeology and fashion design. Ultimately, the practical and creative side won, and she served a tailor’s apprenticeship with the prestigious Fashion House of Bleyle in Stuttgart. Constanze took a short detour in data processing before marrying and becoming a full-time mother of four lovely children. Subsequently, she returned to tailoring for JC Penny, became a makeup artist for Calvin Klein, and a Flight Attendant for United Airlines. She is still enthusiastic about children, archeology, travel and meeting people of all nations. In her spare time, she collects native musical instruments from the four corners of the world as well as stamps and postcards.
