What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create and edit multimedia content, build organic social communities, and amplify brand messages through writing, visual storytelling, and cross-cultural communication.

I've developed and edited content for RTL Deutschland's Zwischen Tüll und Tränen, shaping engaging storylines while maintaining quality, consistency, viewer expectations, and broadcast standards.

I'm currently building a target-group-specific Instagram channel from concept and design through copywriting, growing it organically from zero to 300 followers in six months and reaching up to 20,000 views per account. I also translate between German and English, combining linguistic and cultural adaptation with cross-platform content creation.
