Experience

• 

  Becker + flöge GmbH

  Jun 2016 - Jun 2017

  Product Photographer

  My job while finishing school: photographing glasses, editing photos in Photoshop and uploading them to the BrilleDirekt online shop. Sometimes right after school, sometimes in the late evening hours — but always with motivated colleagues.

  Self-employed

  Bürgerblick Passau

  Feb 2020 - Jul 2020

  Journalist

  The big advantage of a small team: I was able to take on tasks quickly and gain an insight into the journalistic practice of a regional print magazine. I learned how to write a review or what makes a good infographic. I also helped with research and organisation.

  Universität Passau

  Oct 2020 - Jul 2024

  I explain software to people so that they understand it! Topics include WordPress, Word for scientific papers and professional contexts, database management and VBA programming with Excel. Initially employed as a student assistant, now freelance. Not just any job as a student assistant: my enthusiasm for topics related to digitalisation meets my expertise in the media sector. I worked at Prof. Dr. Krämer's Chair of Information Systems with a focus on the Internet and Telecommunications Industry, assisting the Chair with research questions, for example on the topic of data as a business model. I also edited and recorded lectures and tutorials and was the contact person for technical questions. As a tutor, I taught the content of the Internet Computing lecture to international students. This included both the basics of computer science and the basics of network infrastructure. For many of the students it was their first semester at a German university. As a tutor, I tried to put myself in the international students' shoes and support them as much as possible.

  Apr 2022 - Aug 2024

  Our successful collaboration on the teaching editorial team has led to a long-term partnership. As a freelancer, I cover events in the region. It is a good opportunity for me to write regularly as a journalist. Writing journalistic articles for the daily newspaper. Discussing the texts together was particularly helpful. What I really enjoyed: Working independently on the concept, doing the research and the writing. What I'm really proud of: My photo series for the pool festival.
