In the new episode of Stories Behind Students, Alena talks about balancing her daily life between acting and studying - and how passion and structure help her successfully combine both.

Alena von Aufschnaiter is living her dream: she captures special moments as a photographer and impresses as an actress in TV productions such as Watzmann ermittelt, Rosenheim Cops and Soko Stuttgart. In the new episode of Stories Behind Students, Alena talks about how she manages to combine her studies and career.

Before Alena von Aufschnaiter discovered her passion for acting and photography, her path initially led her in a completely different direction. Today, she is successful behind and in front of the camera and has already appeared in TV productions such as Watzmann ermittelt, Rosenheim Cops and Soko Stuttgart. At the same time, she is studying Marketing & Communication Management at the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol and uses the knowledge she has acquired to contribute professionally to her diverse projects. In the new episode of Stories Behind Students, Alena provides insights into a daily life characterized by structure, commitment and passion.

One thing that particularly fascinates Alena about acting and photography is the combination of creativity and precision: every role and every photo requires a fine sense of expression, timing and staging. This combination - creating art without losing sight of the central theme - has shaped her career and personal development.

She doesn't look at acting, photography and studying as burdens, but as complementary fields of experience. In the new episode of Stories Behind Students, Alena gives us some insights into her journey so far as she balances her studies and professional experience.
