Masha is passionate about supporting international students from all backgrounds and cultures who come to Berlin to strengthen their German language skills, gain experience in other subjects, and seek to cultivate an international perspective on the world. She studied North American Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin and spent one year of her studies in Portland, Oregon, USA. After university, Masha worked at a bilateral trade association that also coordinated internship placements for students from US universities in German companies. Having witnessed firsthand the lasting transformative effect that these types of educational experiences have, Masha is excited to support even more students in their international endeavors.
