Since 2017, I'm studying European Media Studies at Potsdam University, a highly project-oriented subject focusing on the usage and cultural impact of multiple media. My Master's thesis has been handed in, in April 2017. The main point of interest of my study is the realisation of digital media projects, both independently and collaboratively. In this context, I've worked with CMS-systems like WordPress and social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Swarm. Moreover, I created concepts of and content for enhanced e-books, audio plays, and other websites. I'm well-spoken and well-written in three languages. My mother tongue is German. Apart from that, I was able to deepen my English and Danish skills during a yearlong study and internship in Roskilde and Copenhagen, Denmark. Since then, I have maintained those skills by reading literature in different languages, writing fictional and scientific texts, and by meeting expats. In future, I'm interested in applying my language skills, preferably within an international team, as well as gaining new experiences in the use of digital media, especially with regards to the research, conception, coordination, and presentation of projects.
