Dr. Caroline Gommel denkt, plant und schreibt als PR-Vollprofi aus Leidenschaft. Sie ist Spezialistin und Allrounderin zugleich. Sie interessiert sich für fast alles und vereint dabei so unterschiedliche Themen wie High-Tech und klassische Moderne, Drehmoment und Violinschlüssel, Finanzmarktdaten und Dentale Volumentomographie. Studiert hat sie Literatur, Musikwissenschaft und Geschichte. Promoviert hat sie über eine Oper von Paul Hindemith und zeitgleich ihren Weg in die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit eingeschlagen. Über unterschiedliche Stationen in den PR-Abteilungen bekannter Verlage wechselte sie in die Unternehmenskommunikation eines Medien- und Nachrichtenkonzerns. Dort konnte sie nicht nur ihr PR-Handwerk verfeinern, sondern auch ihren Horizont auf das Medienbusiness und die Finanzbranche wesentlich erweitern. Außerdem lernte sie während der Arbeit für die Nachrichtenagentur beide Seiten der Kommunikation kennen: ihren eigenen Schreibtisch und den News-Desk ihrer Journalistenkollegen. Von der Welt der Daten und Zahlen wechselte sie in die Medizintechnik und übernahm für einen Dentalkonzern mehrere Jahre lang das PR- und Medienmanagement. Gegründet hat sie die Agentur dokolea aus Spaß am Wort, aus Neugier auf die Menschen, die Unternehmen und ihre spannenden Geschichten.
Über sich sagt sie: „Eigentlich wollte ich Sängerin werden, aber dann habe ich festgestellt, dass ich noch besser schreiben als singen kann. Heute denke ich, ich habe den schönsten Beruf der Welt, besonders dann, wenn mir das Texten so leicht von der Hand geht, dass ich dabei singen kann.“

Besides his clinic, Simon Graf, is developing new possibilities to integrate up-to-date technology in the orthodontic field. He started in the beginning of 2014 with a cad/cam-procedure for 3D-metal- printed rapid-palatal-expansion device(hyrax) directly from an intraoral scan. As soon he was able to establish a standardized protocol for this appliance, he continued to work on the herbst-appliance, lingual arch etc. and proceeded to bone-borne appliances. As the materials are evolving, he is now working on acrylic direct printed removable appliances, with the idea to simplify the orthodontic daily business. Also, he is involved in the development of self-designing appliance software. He is lecturing about these topics since 2016 worldwide.
