Private tutor in Brooklyn, NY
Education
I hold a Bachelor's degree in film and television in Boston University, a program I finished in three years and supplemented with a year abroad in Berlin, Germany to complete a German Studies minor with New York University. I work in the film industry and have held numerous internships in film production, development, arts management, and for an arts/lifestyle magazine. When I'm not working, I'm reading. I'm a voracious reader and big fan of European literature and history, especially German and Russian. I can speak, read and write German and I plan to begin Russian courses in the next year. I am working to build my skills and make some money before going back for my master's degree in Modern European Studies.
