My experience

I began my journey with CSA-EUR in 2021 and instantly felt the family-like feeling. The association has been a pivotal aspect of my student life, providing a comforting place within the university where I always felt at home. Throughout these years, I've gained invaluable experiences, met wonderful people, and made friendships that I'm confident will last a lifetime. Taking on the role of Commissioner of External Affairs in the Board was both enriching and challenging. This position honed my soft skills, such as leadership, teamwork, decision-making, and time management. It also offered a profound self-discovery opportunity; my strengths were able to shine through while I was regularly confronted with new challenges. One aspect of serving on the board that I particularly cherish is engaging in discussions about CSA-EUR's strategic direction and witnessing how our collective efforts contribute to the association's growth. The most rewarding experience, in return for all the hard work, has been witnessing my committee evolve into a cohesive team, observing active members form close friendships, and seeing participants foster connections during our events.

I think if you have the time to do a board year, that you should do it. In general, being a board member has it ups and down, but in the end it is the ups that I remember first and foremost. To get to know so many people and also experience their trust in you and the collaboration they give is something quite unique. As vice-president it has been a real delight to get to know so many people not only socially, but also professionally. To discuss collaboration opportunities that are useful now, for CSA, but also later for after my board year in my own professional life.
