I was accepted at Stockholm's University's Masters program in Film Studies, which I started in August
2012. However, I stayed for only one semester, due to financial reasons. I took classes in the Film Institute
of Sweden and studied, if shortly, with some amazing academics.

courses were conducted in French. My major involved grammar, literature, business, and French history

Interests and Hobbies
Making art has always been present in my life, be it drawing, painting, collaging, sculpture, or
installations. I also write prose, poetry, scripts, and keep a blog. I have had two quite popular (now
defunct) personal blogs. I have a fascination with words and I read often. I enjoy learning new languages;
I have studied some Portuguese and Swedish.
I am an extremely social person, I like to attend concerts, gallery openings, plays, and other cultural
events. I sometimes DJ on the side, most recently at an event for International Women's Day.
I keep up with popular culture by reading the news, tweeting and using other social media, reading
blogs, and watching impressive amounts of series and films.
I am always involved with photography or film, lending a hand on friend's projects in production or post-
production, or creating little videos of my own. Recently, I was production and set designer on a music
video for a local band. I love taking photographs. I also sometimes model for photographers or other
artists.
I love the outdoors; I try to spend as much time as I can in the park or the beach, and use my bicycle as
my main means of transportation.
