"At X, I feel like I can help to bring those nice things closer to stressed-out students."

I moved to Delft...

...eight years ago from my home town of Halifax, Canada. As a bit of a history buff, I always wanted to live in Europe, and when I got the chance to move to Delft as a gap year after high school I jumped on it. And then, somehow or another, I never left.

After I graduated,...

...I did a board year at @krashnamusika, which ultimately lead to the job I have now here at X. For me, it's a perfect fit - everyone is enthusiastic, motivated, and passionate.

As long as I...

...have lived in Delft, I have noticed that students tend to lose themselves in their studies. Mostly this is a good thing, but sometimes I feel bad that people are not making time for the nice things in life. At X, I feel like I can help to bring those nice things closer to stressed-out students, and it is great to see them just relaxing in an environment that we have built just for them.

For me, X is a perfect fit - everyone is enthusiastic, motivated, and passionate.
