Years of working experience
Hi, I’m
Natasha Keisler
Film Student
Boston,MA
Summary
Dynamic and passionate student with a strong background in community engagement and the arts. Since co-founding a business with my sister at age 10, I've learned entrepreneurship and customer service skills that have helped in later endeavors, from creating various tutoring and gardening curriculums for refugees and schoolchildren, to organizing a summit of women speakers for feminist events. As part of my current international film education, I moved to France at 17, and have been able to continue nurturing my independence while developing a rich knowledge of different cultures.
