Olga Herschel

Hi! I’m Olga Herschel. I have a Ph.D. in medicine and completed my training as an editor at Germany’s renowned prestigious journalism school, the German School of Journalism in Munich. I have worked as a clinician for over six years, in emergency medicine as well as child and adolescent psychiatry.

My topics usually lie at the intersection of medicine and society, health policy, and the health care industry. I prefer to tell stories about relatable people, with clever storytelling and facts that speak for themselves.

I currently work as a freelance journalist, primarily writing articles and producing podcasts and radio programs. My current clients include Deutschlandradio, DIE ZEIT, and the production company undone.
