MARIA a.k.a. MASHA is an author, columnist and screenwriter. She loves and enjoys Berlin to the full. But sometimes she gets wanderlust and comes up with crazy ideas, like surfing on couches in Mexico or wandering alone in the jungle. Otherwise she is quite sensible, writes for Neon, Mit Vergnügen or Refinery 29 or works on film productions, including for Constantin Film. Together with her boyfriend, she has realized a project close to her heart and founded a German/English online magazine, Literaa Poetry.
