I am 27 years old and a graduated Master of Arts in film studies. I grew up in Stuttgart, Germany and did my Bachelor Studies in Munich until I moved to Vienna, Austria to continue my Master studies there. While I have been doing service jobs for 12 years next to my university studies I collected professional skills in Bartending, Barista as well as many Waitress jobs. But also I learned how to engage and interact socially. Film art is my passion, I loved movies all my life and my dream surely is to work in the Creative Industry or in journalism. I have gained skills and experiences concerning Directing, Self-Organization, Film-Editing, Screenwriting as well as journalistic and editorial work. My English level is fluent and advanced, since I have been teaching, studying and writing in English. Therefore I can write and edit texts in both English and German. Two years ago I went to another continent (South Africa) for the first time in my life to do social work. It was eye opening to me and so I decided to extend my work and travel experience after my Masters graduation. Last year I went to Cambodia for five months to work in a kindergarten founded by an NGO, that focuses on helping families from the dumpster area in Phnom Penh to take care and teach English to their children. Currently I am living in Sendai, Japan for one year and working at a Hostelbar. I love new cultures, food, music and especially the ocean. On my travels I realised that I am patient and easy, I like good conversations and I do not need a lot to be quickly satisfied with my needs. My personal values include empathy, honesty, fairness, efficiency and excitement, while my passions are playing chess, mountain climbing, surfing, arts and movies.
