Honestly just the simple basics but happy to widen my horizon and dig deeper.
Special interests/knowledge relevant to research/investigative journalism:
I love reading and talking to people. I love good communication and digging really deep into topics that spark my interest until I get to the bottom of things.
I also love just sitting and watching people, analysing their behaviour or the way they talk to each other.
Other skills/hobbies:
I am really passionate about cooking and traveling. I want to get to know a s many cultures, countries and people as possible. I love trying out new recipes and in connection to the travelling aspect, trying specialties from all around the world.

- My skill to communicate
- My skills to organise groups of people and tasks
- My ability to keep a helicopter view on things while being in the process of work
- My Curiosity and open-mindedness
