I am a freelance journalist covering migration, climate change and social issues for online-media, radio and print. I have a special interest in Africa and was partly based in Dakar, Senegal, between 2017 and 2019. As a trained multimedia-journalist I reported on elections in Mozambique, the role of Muslim communities in Senegal and a South African Black woman’s way to becoming a pilot. At the moment, I mostly live and work in Berlin, as a broadcasting editor at RBB Inforadio and a contributor for ZDFheute.
In 2011 I graduated from the multimedia-journalism-scheme at IFP journalism school in Munich. In the past, I lived in several places, as Maputo, Jerusalem, Paris, Rome, Lisbon and Cape Town. I hold a PhD in African literatures from Free University Berlin, a M.A. in Romance Studies and a B.A. in Italian Philology, Economics and Political Sciences. I research and work in several languages: German, English, French, Portuguese and Italian.
