Since 2001, I have been working as a freelance consultant for national and international industrial, consumer goods and service companies, specialising in strategic consulting for corporate communications.
My strengths are my analytical flair, my total commitment to implementation and my high level of social and foreign language skills. In addition to my mother tongue of German/Swiss German, I have a very solid command of French, English and Italian, as well as a basic knowledge of Spanish, thanks to my studies in the USA, France and Italy.
I completed my studies in political science in Lausanne with a Master of Arts in Political Science. I then gained my first professional experience at the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE/UVEK) in Bern, before I was drawn to the thrilling agency scene in Zurich. At the reputable agencies of Wirz PR and Farner PR, I gained deep insights into a wide range of industries and, as a team leader, managed crisis mandates with high public visibility, among other things.
Between 2014 and 2019, I was a part-time lecturer in media relations at the Zurich School of Economics (HWZ).
