I'm originally from Braunschweig, northern Germany and have spent parts of my youth in China and in New Zealand. I studied Media and Communication, Journalism, and Dutch in Marburg and Mainz. Starting with part-time jobs during university I gradually began working as a journalist, first in print and after a while in radio and TV journalism. Since 2013, I have been working as a TV-journalist for Saarländischer Rundfunk, a regional branch of German Public Television (ARD). In 2020, I was appointed ARD correspondent in Brussels, covering EU, NATO and BeNeLux topics. Since 2022, I was both been as a TV-reporter for Saarländischer Rundfunk and for the ARD Studio in Brussels as a TV-journalist for Europamagazin. Since October 2024, I'm working in European Parliament as a press officer and communications strategist for the Volt delegation.
