name: Franziska Grotzke

Now that you have a rough overview, here are a few lines about my work so far:

 

I left my homeland Saxony after my Abitur (A level) and moved to Hamburg to train as a legal assistant.

For almost 7 years I practiced this profession and noticed that this was not the fulfilment of my professional life.

So I started to study part-time and also found a new job as a team secretary at a company specializing in nanotechnology. 2 years later I received my diploma in "Music Business Management".

I applied for a job at a large European company known in the music industry. After the end of my fixed-term employment I traveled to Australia for 3 months.

After my return, I quickly found employment as an assistant in an insurance company. Currently I work for a personnel marketing agency as a media assistant and am a part-time freelance writer for scripts and short stories.

I am currently writing a series with a colleague and writing my first script idea. 

2017

Why 2017 is an important year for me!

The foundation-stone was laid in 2014, more precisely at the end of March, when I met my current partner Markus.

 

It soon became clear that we fit together, have the same goals, dreams and difficulties with the norms and values that apply both in today's society and in the world of work.

 

We have therefore used the last months of 2014 to reflect our future: more precisely, what we want to do and achieve in life. Books and blogs were read until we only saw alphabet jumble in front of our eyes.

 

Considerations have brought us a little closer to our goal: to combine travel and work.

 

Therefore I have thought again and again about how I can achieve this common goal.

 

Through various workshops that I have attended, it has become clear to me that I want to be creative. That's why I started writing short stories. The crowning highlight is my degree as a screenwriter during my part-time studies.

 

Under the motto "creativity frees - writing helps!" I am now working on the development of exciting stories worth telling.
