My Story
Some books have many chapters: editor, paramedic, high school teacher, film festival organizer, yoga retreat leader, and - with all my heart (and a fountain of pens) - screenwriter are just some of the roles I've played. I draw on this extensive wealth of experience to tell unique stories.
Writing Scripts

I'm interested in people who desperately try to belong and only make things worse. That's why my stories are populated by queer outsiders, failed self-promoters, neurotic dreamers, and occasionally even ghosts. My passion lies in comedy and dramedy stories that explore themes of queerness, mental health, magical realism, and the everyday madness of life.
Before, during, and after my screenwriting studies at FILMARCHE, I developed several film and television projects: namely the ghost comedy Scherbengarten with Rafael Leal, the live-action/animated dramedy Octomaniacs, and the somewhat unconventional super-anti-heroine feature film Cancel Couture. My short film Die Monstera der Nacht screened at festivals, and I also wrote for the audio tour of the Brücke Museum Berlin, reached the semi-finals of the Stage32 Comedy Contest with the series pilot Nama Stay, and co-organized the Arche Film Festival.
Since this year I have been working as an editor at SIEGESSÄULE, Germany's largest queer magazine.
