What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can cover culture and film with strong editorial rigor—combining on-site interviewing with digital storytelling, collaboration across departments, and measurable impact through analytics.

I’m a freelance journalist and culture-focused press professional with a B.A. in English Language & Literature and a minor in Sociology, with focus areas in literary theory, communication, media studies, film, and organisational structures. I bring a research-driven, editorial approach shaped by foundational studies in screen theory, dramaturgy, and media production.

On-site at Cannes Film Festival, I was recruited directly by a festival director, covered events as a press representative, and conducted interviews across film, sound design, and media—while monitoring real-time digital coverage to amplify the festival’s online presence during peak periods. I also deepen my production understanding through on-set supporting work on a major international streaming production, and I translate insights into campaigns from planning and performance analytics to community communications during Berlin Fashion Week.
