I am a communications professional with 15+ years of marketing, branding, PR and communications for mission-driven businesses in the US and Germany. I have been working with a variety of companies and organizations both in the US and in Europe including Woodbury School of Architecture, St. Baldrick's Foundation, Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine, Game Show Network, German World Magazine, PR Newswire, Christie Digital Systems, and T-Online Germany.

Before I transitioned into communications, I worked as a news producer for Germany’s largest TV broadcaster WDR as well as editor of Rheinische Post, one of the leading German daily newspapers.

I earned my Master’s Degree in English and Communications at the University of Düsseldorf and received scholarships to attend the University of California at Davis as a graduate student and Harvard University as an undergraduate student.
