Hello, I’m Claudia Davies. I am a Communications and PR Professional and Press Officer.

Creative Writing is my passion.

Let's rethink Press Work.

I'm a certified Public Affairs Manager.

Hi! I’m Claudia Davies. I am currently working as an advisor and specialist for PR & Press Work at the German Aerospace Center and am a certified Press Spokesperson and Public Affairs Manager. I’m an open-minded and driven person always looking to improve myself. When I’m not at work I love to play with my cats, read up on politics or travel the world.

Strengths
Communications
As a communications expert I know how to bring a message across effectively and appropriately. I've been writing and speaking for companies and public institutions for years now and know how to communicate on different platforms.
Creative Thinking
Creating new communication concepts from scratch, drawing up graphics to use on- and offline is something I love. I'm well organized and able to tacle problems with my analytical and creative skills I learned in University and mastered in my daily work.
Organizing
Wether it's organizing a project timeline or drawing up an editorial plan, I know how to prioritize and complete tasks. I have completed extensive further training in project management and am currently working as a project manager in communications for a large EU project in the R&D sector.
IT Proficiency
I'm a digital native and thrive in the online world. I've been using computers since I can walk and as a touch typist can write faster than most people. Understanding and using new software comes easily for me and I also know my way around HTML and CSS.
