My goal is to create a university experience that is accessible to all - students, alumni and the community. I envision a campus that provides an array of opportunities for collaboration and growth and ensures that everyone can actively participate in shaping that experience from any corner of the globe.
In the Student Engagement Department, we guide new student initiatives and collaborate with the Frankfurt School administration to enhance student life. We are dedicated to initiating independent projects both on and off campus, aiming to enrich the overall student experience at Frankfurt School.
I am dedicated to being a responsible steward of the Student Councils’ resources. In coordination with other departments, I ensure that students' funds are allocated towards the top priorities of the student body. My main objectives are upholding fiscal responsibility and maximizing the impact of our available resources.
A crucial aspect that actively contributes to maintaining and strengthening our community at Frankfurt School is our FS Spirit. Being part of the Events Department gives us the opportunity to spread this spirit through parties, balls, dinners, kick-off events and festivals. Enabling our diverse student body to meet and connect with each other.
To further promote the inclusion and cohesion of students at this university creating successful opportunities for continued student interaction will be a top priority for us, and one that we will certainly be able to achieve. We're grateful to represent the university.
