Martha Rebekka Peters

Martha Rebekka Peters, born in Bonn in 1997, prefers to spend her free time in the vertical – whether in the climbing gym or on the rocks. She has also been a youth leader for many years. However, she now spends at least as much time at party conferences as she does in the mountains: as a freelancer for phoenix, she accompanies political events and increasingly deals with targeted disinformation – especially when dealing with populist parties. This challenge gives her the opportunity to put her passion for facts, journalistic diligence and in-depth research to good use.
