ISN Amsterdam

Board

President

Hi, I am Michiel Boele van Hensbroek. For the year 09/10 I will be president of ISN Amsterdam. I have lived in Rotterdam for most of my school time and after my final exams I moved to Paris, where I lived for nine months. After my adventure in Paris I decided I wanted to live in Amsterdam and studied history. Now I have been living in this great city for two year and love it!
I hope to make this year the best for international students coming to stay in Amsterdam. I hope to see you all soon!!

Secretary and Vice President

Hi everyone, I’m Kimberly and I’m going to be the one answering all your hopeful, painful and shameful questions as I’ll be the secretary of this year’s ISN board. I went abroad last year to study a semester in Barcelona. At the moment, I’m finishing my Art History Bachelor while trying hard to cross off books of my never ending ‘must read-list’, to cross off films of a similar never ending ‘must see-list’ and having drinks with friends somewhere in between. I’m really looking forward to making the most of ISN 2009-2010!

Treasurer

Hello everyone, my name is Tjerk van Blokland and I’m a psychology student at the University of Amsterdam. In the upcoming year I will be the treasurer of ISN. Before I started studying psychology I studied Business Administration and received a Bachelor degree for this in 2008. In the year 2010-2111 I’m planning to go on exchange to Hong Kong to learn more about the way they look at Psychology in a business setting. In my spare time I like to play soccer, chess and hang out with my friends. I’ll be seeing you this year!

Activities Coördinator

My name is Sophie I’m 23 years old and I have been studying Business in Amsterdam for the past 4 years. I will be your activity coordinator this year which means I will be organizing our activities, weekly ‘ borrels’ in cafe Heffer and special party’s all over town! I love to travel and have lived in Barcelona and Perugia before I decided to go on an Erasmus exchange to Rome for 5 months where I had the best time. I really hope you are going to have a great time in Amsterdam and see you all at the introduction-week!

Introduction Coördinator (1)

Hey everybody, my name is Lucie and I’ll be one of the introduction coördinators in de board of ISN for this year. I’m really looking forward to show you all that you’ve made a really good choice coming to study in Amsterdam. I’ve travelled a lot myself, and I'm really looking forward to meet you. I've just finished my psychobiology bachelor at the University of Amsterdam, and haven't had the chance to go on the Erasmus program yet. But I’m sure I’ll study abroad sometime in my current study, which is psychology. See ya!

Introduction Coördinator (2)

Hello everyone! My name is Jorien Esser and I’m also introduction coördinator for this year. I just came back from a fantastic half year in Paris, where I obtained my undergraduate degree in European Studies. With this great exchange experience still in mind, I will do my best to provide you an even more fantastic time (if so possible) in Amsterdam! My advice: participate in all activities and enjoy it to the fullest, because (so sad but so true!) the whole adventure will be over before you even realize! Have fun!

Marketing and Design Coördinator

Hi all, I am Samantha and I will be the new Marketing & Design coördinator for the year 2009/2010. During my studies in Marketing and Communications I spend a year abroad in order to study, conduct internships and backpack across Asia, Australia, Canada and South America. I just returned from Buenos Aires, where I spend several months organizing activities for kids from the street. I really enjoyed making new friends from all over the world and I am really looking forward get to know even more people from various countries!
