Production Trainee At Story House Productions
Fischerinsel 10 Berlin

Summary

With extensive experience in media production, including both large-scale studio shoots and international unscripted productions, I excel in managing complex logistics, streamlining workflows, and driving cost efficiency. During my time at Story House Productions and Nordicfilm, I coordinated global unscripted content for major networks and social media, including documentary formats and live shows. My background in business economics allows me to optimize budgets and improve operational efficiency, including reducing prop costs by digitizing our inventory system. My years of international competition in sailing and my participation in world championships have further developed my ability to adapt and thrive under pressure while working across diverse teams.
