Communication runs in my blood. I laid the foundations for my professional career while I was still at school by working for the school newspaper and doing internships at local daily newspapers.

After my bachelor’s degree in “Journalism and Business Communication” in Iserlohn, I completed a master’s degree in “Digital Journalism” at theHamburg Media School. During the internships in media companies and PR agencies, I learnt the building blocks of the communicative craft. Stops along the way included.: Ergo-Kommunikation (today Edelmann), infoNetwork GmbH (Capital Studio rtl/n.tv) and the Capital office of “Stern”.
After my traineeship in the finance department of FOCUS Online, I initially decided to work as a freelancer. For two years, I worked for the German edition of the magazine “People”, Westdeutscher Rundfunk and the Altenaer Kreisblatt, among others.

Thanks to my voluntary support for the German liberal party (FDP) during the 2017 election campaign, I received anoffer for a permanent position. So I swapped my home office desk for an office in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia.. I worked there as office manager and personal assistant to Stephen Paul, a member of the state parliament. In addition to organising the office, I wrote his speeches and parliamentary motions and was responsible for all his communications and public relations work.

I impressed with my performance and was promptly headhunted. Bijan Djir-Sarai– Member of the Parliament and Secretary General of the FDP since 2022 – called me into his office. I was responsible for all of his press and public relations work and also wrote some of his speeches and worked on proposals.

But the big city is not my world: it was too crowded, too stuffy, too loud and the sea was too far away. I was drawn up north. Through my contacts in the sailing industry, I joined the German Sailing Association (Deutscher Segler-Verband e.V.) as a parental leave replacement, where I was responsible for communications for the association and the German national sailing team. I dealt with guest contributions and speeches for the Executive Committee, wrote articles, took on the project management for a brochure and was responsible for social media communication.

In the summer of 2021, I decided to go freelance again. Since then, I support various small and medium-sized companies in the areas of copywriting, conceptualisation, PR, marketing and social media.
