Come meet our new board for the Rotary year 2026/2027 ➡️
I joined Rotaract during my first year in Groningen and have since graduated with both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Over the past five years, I’ve learned a lot about running projects, organizing teams, and keeping things on track when they threaten to derail. Most importantly, Rotaract has introduced me to an incredibly interesting and diverse group of people I might never have met otherwise, and many of them remain close friends despite the distance between us.
Nowadays, you can usually find me hanging out with my annoyingly cute cat or tinkering with my server. When I’m out of the house, I’m probably scaling plastic shapes at the climbing gym or just enjoying everything Groningen has to offer.
From Kyrgyzstan to the Netherlands, where my volunteering journey began with Interact Club of Bishkek. Today, I’m proud to continue that journey as part of the board of Rotaract Club of Groningen.
Can’t wait to get to know you all, connect, and make a real impact together!
I was president for 2 years, and now it’s time to finally pass the reins to Alex (he was president before me, so I’m giving them back to him)🐎.
Since I moved away from Groningen for my Master’s in work psychology, it’s also time to slowly move away from the club that gave me so many amazing moments and where I met a lot of incredible people. It has also taught me a lot about working with people, organizing projects, and leading a team. It may sound weird, but I will truly miss the board meetings and yap-sessions once they are over🥲💔
But I’m not leaving Rotaract entirely; I’ll be observing more from the sidelines and joining its international parts in ERIC. And, whenever in Groningen, I am excited to join whatever the club is up to☀️
I am currently studying biomedical sciences at RUG! For me, Rotaract is about creating positive change, supporting the community, and forming connections with amazing people who care about making an impact :)
Being a marine biologist is definitely a big part of my personality. Apart from that you will either find me in the lab, in a reformer pilates studio or on the tennis court. I really enjoy the han
