Film, Writing, and Editing Tutor with B.A. from USC

Krystana R.

Hello! My name is Krystana. I am a graduate of the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Narrative Studies and double minors in Cinematic Arts and Screenwriting. I have a love and passion for all things writing, storytelling, and art (especially the cinematic arts)! I have previous experience as a production designer for several short films and love to get artsy and crafty. I also have experience in literary editing for academic and creative writing as part of several courses of study for my major and minors. I have additional experience writing, filming and video editing for video essay assignments with Adobe Premiere Pro and Canva Pro.

I am a graduate of my high school's 3-year Video Media Arts CTE program (which I completed in just 2 years of study). As the previous president of USC's chapter of Delta Kappa Alpha Professional Cinematic Society, I am very comfortable leading groups big and small and cultivating a positive and supportive environment for everyone. During my time with DKA, I volunteered as a workshop lead for USC’s Troy Camp where I created and conducted hands-on lessons in film development and production for local students from South Central.

I am passionate about encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity in all my students! I will never incorporate generative AI or work with materials created with generative AI in any of my teaching. I believe every student has the capability to practice and hone their own skills of generation with their minds.

When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me exploring Los Angeles, playing video games and TTRPGs, painting, cooking and baking, writing, and filmaking. I look forward to being a support to you and/or your student(s)!
