Hi! My name is Ekaterina, and I’m an International Student in the Netherlands. I graduated from The Hague University of Applied Sciences with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. My academic journey was enriched by a 9-month internship at ING, where I gained invaluable experience working both individually and as part of a team, delivering value to corporate customers.Although I studied online for much of my previous degree, I made the most of my time by traveling extensively across the Netherlands and abroad. I had the chance to explore Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, and Russia, and spent five incredible months living in Valencia, Spain, immersing myself in new cultures and experiences.Currently, I am pursuing a double-track Master’s degree in Organization: Management, Change & Consultancy, and Strategy & Innovation specializations at Maastricht University. This decision to extend my studies reflects my deep interest in these fields and my enthusiasm for continuous learning.In addition to my academic pursuits, I am actively involved in various roles at Maastricht University. As a Student Ambassador, I represent the university at recruitment events and provide insights into student life. As a Student Mentor, I support first-year Bachelor students, helping them navigate their new environment and adjust to university life. Since September 2023, I’ve also been working as a Student Tutor, guiding students through Management, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management courses.I am passionate about everything life has to offer, from incredible travel experiences and meeting new people to pursuing fascinating job opportunities and gaining professional experience. I consider myself open-minded, enthusiastic, and extroverted, always seeking new opportunities to grow and open doors in my professional career. I value punctuality, reliability, and teamwork, and I believe that working with diverse perspectives leads to the best results.
