My Heart Beats for Storytelling

Storytelling is more than just a profession—it's my lifeline, my heartbeat. Especially when it comes to narratives that pulse with sound, even in the seemingly mundane world of radio news. Many might assume that being a news anchor is simply about reading scripts, but for me, it's an art form. Each broadcast is a carefully crafted story, not just a transmission of information, but a bridge connecting listeners to the world around them.

The Beginning:
My journey has been anything but linear. I began with dreams of theatrical stardom—imagining myself embodying countless characters, performing spectacular stunts, and touching people's hearts from the stage. The Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg was my first love, with its crimson velvet seats, ornate stucco, and golden chandeliers. As an actress and stage assistant, I lived in a world of endless possibilities, simultaneously studying German literature, art history, and cultural anthropology.

The Turning Point:
But life, as always, had different plans. The stark realities of the acting world didn't match my vivid imagination. Yet, I discovered that storytelling transcends mediums. As a journalist, I found a new stage—one where true stories could be just as powerful as fictional narratives. My work spans multiple platforms: radio news, cultural features, and digital storytelling. A highlight was my Ernst-Schneider-Award nomination in 2018 for a provocative radio piece on crypto mining.

International experiences have further shaped my narrative. Several months each year were spent in the United States, including a transformative period as an ARD correspondent in Washington D.C. in 2022. The RIAS Commission Berlin's international program with stops in New York, Washington DC and Los Angeles opened doors to deeper, more nuanced storytelling and to a new home. In 2024 I decided to stay.

My voice continues to find expression in diverse ways. Film dubbing, audiobook narration, podcasts, documentaries for BBC, SkyArts, and Channel4—each project is a new chapter. Since 2015, I've evolved into a communication coach, helping others unlock their storytelling potential. Whether it's preparing for a critical presentation, launching a corporate podcast, or simply finding confidence in communication, I guide individuals to tell their most authentic stories.

Acting may have been my first love, but storytelling remains my true passion. The stage has simply changed—from theatrical boards to microphones, from scripts to real-world narratives. And though the medium shifts, the “why” and the “what for” and most of all the core remains the same: touching hearts, provoking thoughts and actions, and connecting human experiences.

Some dreams evolve. Mine has transformed into something far more meaningful than I could have ever imagined.

No End.
