Born in Innsbruck, Regine is a trained historian and art historian with a post graduate degree in diplomatic studies. She has worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vienna, for the United Nations in Vienna and in Tanzania, East Africa, as well as a lecturer for and as the head of the tourism department at the Divine World University in Madang, Papua New Guinea. About 15 years ago, she settled in Vienna and took up work as a history and art history lecturer, tour designer and licensed guide for different river boat companies.

In May 2024, she released the fourth edition of her book entitled “Maria Theresa of Austria: Full-Blooded Politician, Devoted Wife & Mother-to-All”. In November 2023, she self-published the first edition of her book with the title "Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Free Spirit, Beauty Queen, Imperial Legend".

Having grown up with a father who was a conservator and specialist in Dutch paintings of the 17th century, she loves sharing her passion for the fine arts in all museums of Vienna.

As a graduate of a vocational highschool where she took a cooking course, she still has a passion for cooking - which explains why she leads food tours in Vienna, where she explains the many traditions of Viennese cuisine - often with a twinkle in the eye - and shares cooking instructions and recipes.

Versatlity is her life motto!
