Title:<\/strong> Head of Data & Research @ Erobella
\nAge:<\/strong> 34
\nLives in:<\/strong> Berlin

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Brenda, tell us about your role as Head of Data & Research at Erobella. What does your day-to-day work look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: <\/strong> I oversee Erobella\u2019s efforts to understand and improve sex worker wellbeing in Germany, the UK, Austria, Australia and Italy. My days are a mix of designing research frameworks, analysing data from our platform, and collaborating with our team to ensure our studies reflect the real-world experiences of sex workers. A big part of my work at the moment is reviewing the impact of the 2017 Prostitutes Protection Act, where we\u2019re exploring gaps in its implementation and new challenges like online harassment and mental health disparities. I\u2019m constantly engaging with our community to refine our focus and ensure our research is both rigorous and meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What inspired you to focus on sex worker wellbeing, and how does your background play into this<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: <\/strong>My background in public health showed me how often sex workers\u2019 voices are overlooked in policy and research. While earning my Master\u2019s in Public Health, I saw a clear need for data-driven insights into their wellbeing, especially as digital platforms reshape the industry. Erobella\u2019s direct access to sex worker communities gave me a unique opportunity to bridge that gap, combining empirical research with real-world perspectives to drive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: The digital sex work landscape is evolving rapidly. What\u2019s one emerging challenge you\u2019re particularly focused on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: <\/strong>Online harassment is a growing issue. As sex work increasingly moves to digital platforms, workers face new forms of stigma and abuse that can take a serious toll on their mental health. Our research is diving into how these challenges intersect with existing disparities and what support systems can be put in place to address them effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Let\u2019s shift gears for a sec… what do you do when you\u2019re not working? How do you unwind?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Outside of work, I\u2019m a bit of a nature enthusiast. I love hiking in the Black Forest; it\u2019s my go-to way to clear my mind and stay grounded. I\u2019m also an avid reader, usually diving into historical fiction or memoirs. On weekends, you might find me experimenting in the kitchen, trying to perfect my vegan curry recipe, or spending time with my rescue dog, Luna, who\u2019s my constant companion on evening walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Any hobbies or passions that might surprise us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> I\u2019m secretly a huge board game nerd! My friends and I have a monthly game night where we play everything from strategy-heavy games like Settlers of Catan to silly, lighthearted ones. I\u2019m pretty competitive, though I try not to let it show too much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: How do you balance your demanding role with your personal life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: <\/strong>It\u2019s not always easy, especially with the emotional weight of researching sensitive topics. I prioritise setting boundaries., like unplugging from work emails after 7 PM, and leaning on my support network. My hikes and time with Luna help me recharge, and I practice mindfulness to stay focused and present, whether I\u2019m at work or enjoying downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What\u2019s something you\u2019re looking forward to in the coming year, personally or professionally?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A:<\/strong> Professionally, I\u2019m excited to see our research on sex worker wellbeing start influencing policy discussions in Germany. We\u2019re aiming to publish our findings soon, and I hope they spark meaningful change. Personally, I\u2019m planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast next summer – I\u2019ve been dreaming of exploring its cliffs and enjoying some Italian gelato by the sea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
