Freelance: Available

I've been telling stories since I could hold a pencil. At five, I was "publishing" a family newspaper and interviewing my grandparents like they were breaking news. That early spark turned into a love of journalism, international media studies in Germany, and even a stint on the Formula 3 racing circuit.

From journalism to marketing to internal comms, I've spent my career finding the right words, the right channels, and the right moments to connect people with what matters.

At Lumen Technologies, I've done it all: brand strategy, field marketing activation, product marketing, lead gen, employee newsletters, video scripts, crisis communications, intranet launches, and full campaign strategy. I measure success in open rates, sentiment shifts, lead quality, conversion lift, and whether people actually read past the subject line.
