Born in Kansas City, Missouri (USA), Alisa Kasle-Henke came to Germany to spend an exchange year in Freiburg im Breisgau as part of her studies at the University of Vermont. After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and German Studies, she first worked as a Fulbright Teaching Assistant in Vienna, Austria, for one year before beginning a master’s program at the University of Paderborn in three subjects: American Studies, Modern German Literature, and Social Sciences. While studying in Paderborn, she taught English communication courses both at the university and at companies such as Siemens-Nixdorf. After graduating from Paderborn, she spent three years in Berlin, where she held a position at Humboldt University and also worked as a freelance instructor. In 2002, she moved to Bavaria, where she began teaching communication courses on intercultural communication, presentations, and negotiation strategies at companies, universities, and schools. In 2010, she began working as a part-time instructor (50%) at the ZSI of the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences (as coordinator for Advanced Business English communication courses) and, since 2015, has also been responsible for Intercultural Management and Communication at the Faculty of Business Administration on a 50% basis.
