Hi everyone!

My name is Isa Baken, for the coming year I will take the role of HR Officer & Secretary of the 77th board of Aureus. Within my HR role, I will be responsible for committee placement, committee development, supervision of different committees, and many other things. Thus, my main focus is on you guys, the committee members!

I am currently 21 years old, and I grew up in Houten, a small town close to Utrecht. Currently I’m living at Uilenstede. I just finished my bachelor in Business Administration, and after my board year I’m planning to do a Master in Business Administration as well.

Within Aureus, I’ve been in the Marketing Team and the Internal Events committee, which were both really fun experiences and I think we’ve hosted many amazing events. Aureus is a place where I’ve met so many fun people, and I hope all of you will experience this as well. 

Next to my studies I like to say I go to the gym (some weeks I’m more motivated than others though) and I love hanging out with friends whilst enjoying a glass of wine or two ;).

I am looking forward to meeting all of you so don’t hesitate to reach out to me (through e-mail: [email protected]) or to come by our office at the VU main building 8A-32! I am always down for a chat or a coffee! 🙂 

Love, Isa
