I want to tell stories that excite people and organizations; stories that change people’s perception of the world and their actions. To that end, the right word makes all the difference and a good story can make the world turn on its heel.
I have studied in Utrecht, Boston, Riga and Witten, collecting undergraduate degrees in physics and philosophy, and a master’s degree in philosophy, politics and economics. During my undergraduate studies, while I was supposed to be modelling snow densification processes in Greenland, I stumbled into a literature class and caught the bug. This broad academic background, combined with side gigs in literature and creative writing turned into a knack for science communication and storytelling. Subsequently, I have honed my skills as a copy writer for AdsVentures Internet Media, in my position as communications expert for the Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production, as well as an editor for Welt der Physik.
Topics
Stories impact people. They stimulate fascination and foster curiosity in a way that facts do not. Using the methods of storytelling, we make your project or research accessible for your target group – without losing sight of the precise presentation of the facts.
Scientific projects and research results can be difficult to explain – to the general public, decision makers and researchers outside of the discipline alike. Together, we develop appropriate translations of your results that will resonate with your target audience, and a communication plan to disseminate them.
Who better to tell your story than yourself? Whether you want to communicate your science or transport the messages of the joint project with an international consortium, together we set up a strategy that fits your needs and transports your story – in a lively, personal way that only interviews can convey.
Visuals combined with spoken text are a great medium to reach your audience and explain even complex content in a compelling way. From a brief explainer video to a longer documentary or image film, I write the script and collaborate with graphic designers to create the right film for you.
Portfolio
All things physics, and especially geophysics and geoscience have a special place in my heart. Previously, I have written on sustainability research from a business as well as a social perspective, digitalization strategies for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as FinTech products.
I have worked within publicly funded projects with multiple partners in a consortium, private economy projects with forward thinking and trailblazing companies, academic and non-academic researchers, in international and interdisciplinary teams.
