Germany-based journalist, radio editor, freelance correspondent and podcast producer with more than 20 years of professional broadcasting experience. I work as a staff journalist and news editor at a regional radio newsroom in Essen (North Rhine-Westphalia), producing news and current affairs content for four stations: Radio K.W., Radio Emscher Lippe, Radio Mülheim and Radio Oberhausen. My daily work includes researching, writing, editing, reporting and presenting news, as well as digital and online journalism. Alongside my staff position, I work as a freelance journalist, editor and podcast producer. I produce "Im Krisenmodus" ("In Crisis Mode"), an international affairs and conflict podcast for FUNKE Mediengruppe, hosted by German war correspondent Jan Jessen. My responsibilities cover editorial research, story development, interviews, scripting, recording, audio editing, overvoicing and production. Based in North Rhine-Westphalia, within easy reach of Cologne and Düsseldorf, I am available for freelance reporting and correspondent assignments across Germany, including on-the-ground reporting, interviews, breaking news coverage and audio contributions for international broadcasters. I work confidently in both German and English and can support productions remotely or on location — from research and editorial preparation to recording, editing and delivering broadcast-ready audio. I combine the reliability and editorial judgement of an experienced newsroom journalist with the flexibility to contribute to independent and international productions.
