Eva-Marie came seventh in the 1997 European Championship and 15th in the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics with her skating partner Rico Rex, after which she retired.
In March 2006, Eva-Marie began working with the Adecco Athletes Career Programme. Adecco provided consultation on vocational training and supported Maria’s career planning. Adecco provided Eva-Maria with an e-learning training course for Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, allowing her to complete it at her own pace.
In May 2007, Maria found a job on a cruise liner and in September will begin training as a fitness instructor in Munich.
Maria said: "After Turin, I just didn't know what to do with my life. Adecco helped me to make the right decisions and now I can dedicate myself to training as a fitness instructor."
