The Local
I am a reporter and staff writer at The Local - Germany. I cover Germany's news in English for an audience of foreign nationals living in (or interested in) the country.
My coverage includes explainers on politics, the economy, current events and occasionally breaking news. I also research and write-up long-form interviews and features on topics that are relevant to The Local's audience.
A more comprehensive list of my reports for The Local can be found here.
