My passion for promoting cultural and intellectual exchange has led me to a successful career in the non-profit sector. As Program Manager and Communications Officer at Villa Aurora & Thomas Mann House e.V. in Berlin since 2013, I have spearheaded innovative event series, such as “Rooms with a View,” and digital initiatives like the mobile app “Exit Exile.” Through these projects, I have demonstrated my ability to liaise effectively with service providers, developers, event personnel, as well as artists and public institutions.
My background in journalism, literary studies and photography has given me the skills and perspective to capture the stories and messages of a diverse range of events and organizations. I have worked with Poesiefestival Berlin, Wortgarten Festival, DFL-Stiftung, Open Mike, Microsoft Berlin, the Goethe-Institut, Vice, the European Democracy Lab, Volksentscheid Fahrrad, Haus für Poesie, Publixphere, and many more.
I hold a master’s degree in Modern German Literature Studies as well as a B.A. in Art History, which I obtained through my studies in Berlin and Siena. To develop my skills as a photographer, I attended seminars at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin.
I am a member of KOOK e.V., a non-profit organization that serves as an independent network of artists. KOOK provides a platform for artists to exchange ideas and engage in debates about contemporary art trends. Through reading series, concerts, festivals, exhibitions, and other formats, KOOK supports the growth and development of the arts community.
