Bio

I'm a bilingual, intrepid and adaptable multimedia journalist seeking opportunities at the intersection of media and technology that allow me to use innovative forms of storytelling. Born and raised in Northern Germany, I earned my B.A. in History & Journalism from the University of Gießen before coming to the U.S. in 2012 to get a M.A. in Communications. As a freelance journalist, I cover technology, startups, media innovation and immigration. My mission is to leverage the power of story-telling to shed light on fascinating and unsettling aspects of free enterprise, to give entrepreneurs a platform by disseminating their trials and successes and to empower all those interested in entrepreneurship by informing, educating and inspiring them. My Semester At Sea voyage allowed me and 600 college students to travel to 13 countries on a ship and spend time with 9 tech entrepreneurs, Nobel Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu and other world leaders. Being able to work closely with these change agents both in and outside the classroom on real-world projects thanks to the Unreasonable At Sea program, I witnessed first-hand how they created social value and measurable results. This profound experience led me to the realization that entrepreneurship is a powerful tool to help people address social, political and environmental challenges, and that journalists need an entrepreneurial mindset to take advantage of the opportunities this new age of journalism presents. I am currently searching for jobs that enable me to tell important stories. I am seeking opportunities that allow me to use my unique skill set and develop my full potential.
