Swiss emigrant to open bakery in her new home of Tampines

Tamara Gunziger, a former radiologist from Bern, is about to open her own bakery in Singapore. She hopes that people in the eastern town of Tampines, where she now lives, will soon be eating croissants for breakfast.

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
