My job is to help students find a place where they belong and can thrive as they go through their university journey. I work for a real estate development company operating student apartments in Germany, Denmark, and Poland. We provide an experience similar to US college residence halls with building community at the center of what we do. I oversee the student experience. I started out working in student affairs (mostly in residence life and housing) at different universities for about 12 years before I moved into the corporate world.
My day usually consists of supporting the local teams in bringing a great student experience to life. I help solve problems and answer questions, respond to any issues or concerns, and help to develop our team and organization. I spend the morning catching up with people on what has been happening and see what they need. I will then take that information into meetings to help improve the living experience for students. My meetings can range from budgets and planning to coming with event ideas to giving feedback on designs for new buildings. No day is ever the same, and I love that challenge. Much of what has helped me to succeed, I started to learn at EHS—the power of community, teamwork, and continuously improving.
