Multilingual Lawyer - Content & Video Creator - Photographer - Painter

Hi, I accomplished my law degree in Germany, worked in international law offices for civil & intellectual property rights in Brazil. Due to my versatility and interest of traveling, learning new cultures and languages, I decided to work as a freelancer. Working in different startup companies, I've gained further experiences as a project management, marketing manager, as well as a recruiter in the tech and legal fields. I have a strong creative side, that shows in photography, videography and content creation. Recently, I've started my own painting experience, as I've been painting and drawing since I was a child. Lastly, I love languages, since school gave me the opportunity to learn different languages. As a mixed child, I grew up speaking German and Portuguese (BR) fluently. I also speak English (fluent), Italian (advanced), French (advanced), Spanish (basic) and am currently, teaching myself Mandarin. LAWYER: I worked in different law offices focused on IP and international rights, such as family law, labor law, and visa rights. As a freelancer, I take different law cases, assisting private people, as well as companies. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: I worked as a project manager in an IT company, in which I was the link between the programmers and clients. I met up with clients to discuss and plan projects (i.eg. App, Software, Homepage), understand their goals, and shape the process, which I then communicated to our programmers. In a meeting with our programmers, I discussed the projects, as well as feasible deadlines and everything they needed to do their part of the project. Once the project started, I tracked the procedure and deadlines of the projects, had conference calls with clients to keep them updated, did PMO (making sure that all resources were available, searching for schoolings to improve the work, etc.). Partly, I handled the financial part, in which I check and organised bills and payments. VIDEO- AND PHOTOGRAPHER: I shoot and edit photos and videos with a DSLR and DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone. Furthermore, I direct shoots and create social media content. Due to that, I gained experience in managing social media accounts as I took over the lead of some accounts. I work with the Adobe programs, such as Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, but also with Canva, iMovie, etc. CONTENT CREATION: I create websites with WIX and SQUARESPACE and integrate content in different languages. I also write blog articles for different topics (legal, lifestyle, health etc.). PAINTER: I have my own painting experience, in which I introduce absolute beginners to the world of art, but also create a great atmosphere for experts to (re-)connect to their creativity meeting like-minded people. I participate in art exhibitions, have my paintings temporarily hanging in restaurants, sell my paintings or prints or create paintings upon request. I preferably work with acrylics. I also sculpture with ceramics and clay.
