in the historic heart of Vienna

Dear Karen, Dear Mr. Kottulinsky!

I am glad to announce that I successfully finished my studies. On Monday I’ll be officially graduated. 🙂

 My thesis got approved and eventually received a grade 1 (although as the author I would already change several things by now.)

In the attachment you find the full document. I hope there is something of interest to you. If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to contact me. I could also put it in some other format or a short version if needed.

I’m happy to get some feedback and thank you again for your great support!
Kind regards,

Doris
