Über mich
I have over 15 years of experience in online editorial, content and copy, community management, journalism, SEO, PR, team leading and workshop organization. I have worked as an online editor and team lead for Microsoft News, where I managed a team of employees and freelancers, curated and edited content, proofread texts, monitored traffic and CTR and implemented new strategies for a better workflow and automation of tasks. As a community manager at KOMA Elektronik, I was organically building community and partnerships with companies and clients, working with various stakeholders and organising events. I have experience from working at PR and editorial offices in Berlin. I have a bachelor's degree in theory of interactive media with a completed exchange programme in Berlin's Humboldt University, and certificates in English for journalism from Coursera and in Social Media Marketing Management, and a native-like English level.
