Amazing Bilingual Woman

November 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Born, bred an schooled in Germany, raised by an Irish mother and a German father, I am lucky enough to speak both the original language of the Gab, as well as the language that “sounds like typewriters eating tinfoil being kicked down a stairs“, fluently.

Read: I am a bilingual native speaker of both German and English.

Work – for Real this Time

August 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I work as a freelance journalist and copywriter, with a successful sideline of travelling to faraway places at very short notice, which leaves very little time for maintaining blogs such as this one, designed to show prospective employers my work.

If you are, however, looking for a freelancer to contribute to your magazine, website or other product containing words, take a look at my published work and references and I would be more than happy to make time for you.

I will write stuff for money.

Gabbing about Love

August 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

When I started working for be2, it was but a blip on the radar of the online matchmaking market. Three years, and numerous changes of my job definition, later, be2 is the fastest-growing company in its sector and spouting success stories like they’re going out of fashion.

As online editor, I contribute all kinds of copy to the website, as well as email and online marketing, but the corporate blog has become my pet project. I get to research, write and post pretty much anything I deem of interest and relevant to our readers. Building this kind of a project from scratch with a really small, enthusiastic team, making it up as we go along, is a journalist’s dream come true. Add to that the flexible working hours and informal work style and I’ve got myself a match made in heaven.

Oh, I do all that stuff in English, too.

If I Can Make it There, Surely I Can Find a Job When I Get Back Home

August 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment

For three months after Uni I had the coolest postgrad job in the universe. (even better than this one)

Prove it, you say?

My internship in the US correspondents’ office of German publishing company Burda was not only interesting, varied and insightful, it was also in New York.

I went to work here every day for three months:

Rockefeller Office New York

I rest my case.

Studiosity

May 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

To counterbalance all the shallowness in my working life, I studied some deep stuff – German and English Literature, Intercultural Communications and Women’s Studies – in Munich and Dublin.

And I did some writing there, too! Some of it even got published. By a publishing company! Some of it didn’t.
