In the following years, the studio repeatedly hired her as a freelancer for session prepping and assisting on recordings with various orchestras. After graduating, she was accepted into the Master's program “Film Music” at the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf, where she was given the opportunity to compose soundtracks for several creative film projects, such as the immersive VR experience INTO THE RED (Prix Europa 2019, Student BAFTA Awards 2020) the essayistic documentary UGOKU TOKAI (IDFA 2020, DOC.BERLIN 2021, AAIFF 2021) and to record her compositions with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg.
