a.k.a. Μαριεντίνα Γκότση in Greek.

Greetings and welcome to my new website! I am still fine-tuning and copyediting, but let’s start here:

I am a Professor of Practice at the Interactive Media & Games Division of the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California.

I like to travel, cook, photograph furry animals, and hang with friendly people.

I have lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Greece.

This website may contain a lot more than you bargained for as I am one of the most verbose people you will ever know when it comes to website copy (and even email at times). If you want to avoid all that, my (very concise) academic home is at cmbhc.usc.edu.

How to reach me:

Prospective student/collaborator/client? Speaker or guest lecture request? Write me a note. I am a busy person, but depending on what you need or what you say, you may hear from me sooner than you expect.

Students receive the highest priority. Urgent press requests get answered next. Everyone else, in due time. And on occasion, emails slip through the cracks. Try reaching out again if ignored :)
