... I publish my articles in Cicero, a political culture magazine (German language) , in Handelsblatt, the leading German economic newspaper, in Tagesspiegel, in Die Zeit, Die Welt, Berliner Morgenpost, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, B.Z. Berlin and others.

As a writer

... of commissioned pieces I explore people and their lives, in lively debate or in tracing their steep career paths
... I explore and unpick contemporary social debates
... I convey complex issues in short, clear and vivid language.
... I write speeches for high profile figures in politics, culture and business.

As a partner for German

...I convey my excellent German language skills and I support you in a wide range of professional matters concerning the German language. I am an experienced DaF-Teacher (DaF: German as a foreign language), certified by the Goethe Institute.

My mother tongue is German and I speak English, Russian, Spanish and French fluently. I have worked as a journalist in these languages; interview areas include politics, economics and culture.

Thus, I am fully aware of the challenges - and joys - of working in a foreign language.
