here’s who i am when the camera’s off.
I love the spotlight and I’ve been speaking in front of people for as long as I can remember. At university, I joined the debate club and I taught language classes as a side gig. I hold master’s degrees in journalism from FH Wien and in psychology from UCL.
I am trained in presenting, on- and off-camera hosting and professional speaking and continue to practice and hone my skills regularly. I’m fluent in English, German and French as well as conversational in Spanish and Romanian. My Russian is an ongoing project.
As a journalist, I strive to make current affairs accessible and empower citizens to make informed electoral and participatory decisions. I care about truth and factfulness, and I try to contribute to re-establishing a common sense of reality in our fragmented society.
As a human, I’m trying to leave the world a better place than I found it. I donate to the Helen Keller foundation, a charity recommended by the effective altruism movement. I care enormously about children’s rights and mental health - and I’m happy to work pro-bono for related conferences and events.
My personal mission is to remain an open, warm, kind, self-reflected woman, to continue to grow and learn, and to raise my future children in the same spirit.
In my free time, you’ll find me hosting brunch or dinner, at the gym, in a coffee shop, with my nose in a book, or - let’s be honest - getting my nails done.
