Meet the Admissions team

Hi, my name is Ana and I am an Associate within the Student Recruitment team at the Hertie School.

Hi! I'm Mariana, born and raised in São Paulo (Brazil) but full-time Berliner since 2017. My interests range from cooking, to reading a good sci fi book and dancing. If you have any questions about our study programmes or the city, feel free to contact me! Hope to meet you on the school corridors, or on the line for a Kebab!

My name is Camila Alvarez Cea, I'm from Sweden, and my parents are Chilean (so feel free to reach out to me in English, Spanish or Swedish/Norwegian!). I've lived in Berlin for two years now, and I love the cinemas in this city. My best tip is Kino International, located in former east Berlin!
