My Experience

Serving in this role has provided me with a unique opportunity to contribute to fostering a sense of belonging within the diverse Asian community in The Netherlands.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my position has been witnessing the vibrant tapestry of cultures within our association.
We have created a space where students with Asian backgrounds can celebrate their heritage, share their experiences, and forge meaningful connections.

As the Secretary, I have played a crucial role in ensuring that information flows seamlessly within the association. From drafting newsletters and meeting minutes to coordinating with my fellow board members, my responsibilities have allowed me to cultivate effective communication channels and promotion. My organizational skills have been able to thrive in this position, and I have enjoyed overseeing the association.
