I was born in Germany to German parents, but grew up on Mallorca, Spain where I went through British international schooling, which meant I was raised completely trilingual and am equally fluent in English, German and Spanish. As such my portfolio showcases a diverse range of multi-language projects and I am extremely comfortable working across different countries and languages.
I graduated from the University of Buckingham with a First-Class Honours Degree in Journalism with English Literature.

Before my current role, I produced video content and managed YouTube channel programming and development for the Mercedes Formula 1 Team for six of their World Championship winning years, led the content creation and live coverage for various Oman Sail sporting events in the Sultanate of Oman, followed by working across advertising projects for one of the world's most exciting car brands, BMW.
