Effective communication is the key to success in today's globalized world. As an International Communication and Media student at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, I am eager to know more about the ways in which communication can be used to bridge cultural divides and bring people together.Understanding the power of social media and how it can be used to connect people is something I have seen a lot in my experience working on online platforms. Working on podcasting projects allowed me to hone my skills, and being the Communication Manager of the Erasmus Student Network - a non-profit organization, by students, aimed at supporting other students - branch in Mechelen gave me the opportunity to express my creativity through design and copywriting.Being in the service industry, I was able to develop strong people skills that assisted me in the betterment of my work. Communicating effectively with people from all walks of life and building relationships became a passion of mine, leading me to be always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and connect.
