As a freshman, she chose what she called one of the more “classically Harvard concentrations”—history and literature—but found herself drawn more toward her electives. Now, nearly nine years later, Berliner says that she could not have predicted that concentrating in folklore and mythology with visual and environmental science would have led her to her current occupation—running Star Farm Productions, a storytelling company.Calling it a “mini...
