My name is Mariia Karnakova and I am studying for a Master's degree in Creative Producing at ZHdK. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Media Culture at the Bauhaus University Weimar. During my studies I worked as a working student at Converia in the areas of video production, marketing, project management and finance. I also gained experience as an assistant director, in film and commercial production and in organising cultural events. I volunteered as a translator for KIKA and DAAD and supported art projects at Kasseturm, Germany's oldest student club.
