Her scientific training has taught Frauke that reliable information, which is the basis of all successful planning, development and action, is too often taken for granted. Analytical thinking and practical skills, evaluation of data and environments are part of her professional experience, which she utilizes to effectively solve problems with new and innovative solutions. Her experience of expedition logistics and project management transforms into understanding of the careful planning processes of serious-minded project work.
Furthermore it has taught her to focus under pressure on the tasks at hand.

She previously worked as a Coach Developer in the Erasmus+ projects (European Rookie Cup and Hockey Partnership for Progress), as well as in the International Ice Hockey Federations (IIHF) Coach Developer Programme among other projects. She graduated in 2021 as a cohort 7 member of the Nippon Sport Science University National Coach Developer Academy (NSSU-NCDA; Japan) Coach Development System Building Programme.
During 2021 she was the Programme Coordinator and Coach Developer for the KKY-project (Cultural and Linguistic Equality in Coaching), executed by the Finnish Coaches Association.

Her experience is not limited to coaching but she was also fortunate to have been able to collect experience as a competition athlete in Muay Thai, with several medals to proof it.
