About me

I’m a curious, collaborative and creative freelancer with a unique career path and background. I'm a Consulting Writer and Editor with over 13 years of international editorial experience and a background in team leadership, content strategy, and project management. I have 10+ years of international event management experience and an intimate knowledge of the film and TV industry. I direct the Berlin branch of Raindance, an independent international film festival and film school, and curate and moderate film industry talks. Liaising with colleagues and clients to ensure effective communication is something I am both skilled in and enjoy immensely.
