Motivation for applying to this position

What truly excites me about this position is the opportunity to contribute and give back to the community by planning events and helping people, which I love. I've always admired EIT's ability to create impactful connections and I believe that the best way to mantain and create new ones is via events. I have myself attended several events (Prague local events, Coliving, Annual Meetings, Kick Off 2024), and I can say that I have cherished every moment and created deeper connections from these experiences.

Vision and plans for the community

My vision for the EIT Digital Alumni community is to build on the established successes, like Coliving and Annual Meetings, while also looking forward to new journeys and destinations. I want to motivate new generations to join our network and feel welcomed. Encourage and help our local representatives to host engaging events. What makes the EIT unique is the people, so I would love to involve them as much as possible.

Why people should vote for me

I believe a blend of organizational skills, open-mindedness and social energy makes me a strong candidate. I truly enjoy bringing people together and ensuring everyone feels welcome, whether it's through planning events or simply finding the perfect local spot for a gathering. My previous experiences organizing events for both asociations and companies will help me on this new challenge. I'm really excited to serve our community and create meaningful experiences for everyone.
