GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a student assistant at the University of Bayreuth, supporting the Chair of Social and Cultural Anthropology with hands-on education and research tasks. I maintain and develop the e-learning website, prepare and provide course materials, and provide technical support for classes.
I also support research and academic work: I’ve assisted PhD candidates by editing dissertation manuscripts and transcribing interview data, and I’ve contributed to organizing events for the School of Intersectionality. I’m adaptable, detail-oriented, and able to handle responsibilities in dynamic environments.
Alongside my academic role, I’ve built strong service and communication skills through customer-facing work, including student service in cinema ticketing and hospitality roles. I provided attentive service, supported smooth operations, and helped create a positive guest experience.
I enjoy combining communication with creativity through graphic design and visual work, including poster and presentation design and content aligned with an institute’s message and identity. I also teach and coach learners as a freelance English and German tutor, helping students with beginner-to-advanced learning and exam preparation.
