@GermanyinUSA
From 2024 to 2025, I took on the role of social media specialist at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. A core function of my job was to create multimedia content for the newsletter and social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, BlueSky, and YouTube). I developed graphics and video content using effective storytelling to make topics like foreign policy, sustainability, and business accessible to diverse audiences. One highlight was a series of explainer graphics that breaks down developments in German politics for an American audience without background knowledge. Check them out!

Slow Burn: Books for Slow Readers
For years, I struggled to return to my reading roots, so I caved and made a podcast about it. In this series, listeners join me on a journey out of my adult reading rut. In each episode, I talk about quick reads with people I like.

Sounding the Big Pond: A Transatlantic Radio Hour
This transatlantic radio show explores big ideas through personal radio essays — think topics like “friendship,” “happiness,” and “gardening.” Every Monday, the Goethe-Institut and WPFW DC invite listeners on an audio journey, which includes a German-American story, personal anecdotes, interviews, and music that was specially selected for the topic. Listen to some episodes I hosted!
