A person, not a number
Like many others, Sandra Rinnhofer wanted to move to a big city to study. Yet, she could never forget life in eastern Upper Styria. After her first son was born, she rediscovered the value of her social network, the slightly more laid-back pace of life and the affordable housing in this area. Today she runs a midwifery practice in Mürzzuschlag with her colleague and friend. Her motto: Treat people as humans, not numbers.
