@GermanyinUSA
Since June 2024, I have taken on the role of social media specialist at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. A core function of my job is to create multimedia content for the newsletter and social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, BlueSky, and YouTube). I develop graphics and video content using effective storytelling to make topics like foreign policy, sustainability, and business accessible to diverse audiences. One highlight has been a series of explainer graphics that breaks down developments in German politics for an American audience without background knowledge. Check them out!

Slow Burn: Books for Slow Readers
I’ve been struggling to return to my reading roots for years now, so I finally caved and made a podcast about it. Join me, Savannah Beck, on a (probably never-ending) journey out of my adult reading rut! In each episode, I talk about quick reads with people I like.

Sounding the Big Pond: A Transatlantic Radio Hour
This transatlantic radio show explores big ideas through personal radio essays — think topics like “friendship,” “happiness,” and “gardening.” Every Monday, the Goethe-Institut and WPFW DC invite listeners on an audio journey, which includes a German-American story, personal anecdotes, interviews, and music that was specially selected for the topic. Listen to some episodes I hosted!
