Cindy Hesse

Cindy Hesse has been working in the library of the Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) since 2013. In 2021, she completed further training to become a data librarian and discovered the topic of open access as a new area of responsibility. As the contact person for open access at the HBI, she is in charge of the in-house publication fund and advises researchers on all aspects of the topic. When Cindy is not in the library or in the open access world, she translates the institute’s website as part of the online editorial team.

Cindy Hesse completed the international Master’s programme “European Studies” (M.A.) at Universität Hamburg with a focus on migration and refugee research. She also holds a degree in Political Science and English/American Studies (B.A.) from the University of Tübingen and studied at Washington College, USA.
