Willing to travel for an event.
Willing to talk for nonprofit.

I’m Grace Dobush, an American-born freelance journalist based in Germany and operating worldwide. My current work tends to fall in the intersection of business, technology and politics. I’m especially interested in mobility, cities, German business and the creative economy.
I’ve written for publications including Fortune, Handelsblatt Today, Huffington Post, Wired, Quartz and Roll Call. I’ve also done content work for companies and organizations including Cisco, Mozilla, Autodesk, the Urban Land Institute, the Consumer Tech Association and Robert Half International.
But I don’t only work with text: I’ve appeared as a commentator in international media outlets including Deutsche Welle and BBC News Hour, and I've moderated panels and conferences in the US and Germany.
Examples of previous talks / appearances:
I moderated this panel discussion at the 2nd Arctic Science Ministerial on 24 October 2018 in Berlin, which had the theme Perceiving Arctic Change: Climate, Society and Sustainability.

The pitch: Networking sucks. But you can make it better by just being a human and interacting with other people like they're people. Thoughts on networking for creatives and freelancers from a woman who approaches strangers in grocery stores. Let's be friends!
I was a guest of Erik Kirschbaum on Studio Berlin talking about proposals like expropriating property and the rent freeze in Germany's capital city.
