As a Technical Medicine student with a strong opinion, I am eager to contribute to the Faculty Council of Science and Technology. I am passionate about improving systems and processes through collaboration, constructive dialogue, and critical thinking. People that are close to me often tell me that I bring forward difficult points of criticism in a clear, respectful, and approachable way which is something I consider essential in a council role. These skills have already proven useful in my role as an information officer for the University of Twente as well as at my job at the Techmed Simulation Centre. In these jobs, working together with varying groups of people to drive improvements in a wide range of subjects is rewarding to me and something that suits me well. Here I have also learned that I enjoy working with others to find practical, sustainable solutions and to help shape a better environment for students and staff alike. Therefore, I would like to add my qualities to the faculty council to make a difference!
