Annette has her paternal grandfather to thank...
...for her unusual surname.
The word “Yashpon” (pronounced, “Jasch-pon”) is the Anglicized version of a Bessarabian name!
Originally from Leeds, England, Annette left the UK soon after university and has made Continental Europe her home ever since. Now based in Berlin, Germany, she previously lived in Tours, France, as well as Regensburg and Munich, Germany.
Over the years, she has developed an eclectic mix of skills, making her a versatile and expressive performer: pianist, singer, event presenter, MC, voice artist, actor, and all-round entertainer. Her work in film and theatre has also strengthened her abilities in writing, directing, singing, dancing, and choreography.
Her love for movement and the outdoors shines through her hobbies, which include: horse-riding, skiing, scuba-diving, yoga, meditation, hiking, jogging, and Dog Agility with her dog Ebony.
And when it comes to culinary pleasures, she never leaves the house without organic raw dark chocolate (99% cocoa or higher)!
