Summary
For over 20 years, I have been working as a journalist and PR consultant in the healthcare/medical field - and I still do so with great joy and passion. My curiosity, quick grasp of things, and openness to new ideas drive me. That is why I am also not afraid of taking on new challenges.
My experience ranges from creating classic PR materials such as press releases or background texts, to brochures, CME articles, special productions and congress reports, and also SEO-optimized online texts and podcasts. Coming from RX specialist communication, I now work more broadly and over the years have also built up successful communication for lay audiences. The topics are very wide-ranging as a result of my passion for new subjects.
