As an editor in chief for different company magazines several journalism trainees got their professional background under my assistance. Not an easy way some may have experienced, but once succeeded, everything else seems like a piece of cake.

Holding seminars and teaching at universities also is part of my profession. Main subjects are journalistic issues like research and interview training, science communication, creative technical writing, project management, intercultural communication and web design. For students I try to make their lessons unique, challenging and loaded with practical information for their daily professional life. Technical documentation can be informative and yet fun to read and understand. Based on creativity and brains of the writer.

Motto

 

Science is fun to explore

Curiosity and an open mind
to things and behaviours different to
the ones we already know and use
are a basic drive in evolution and in life.

If you do what you always did
you will get what you always got.

If you are not living on the edge
and not trying to explore beyond tight borders in your daily routine
you are using up to much space.
