I study Drama Therapy. At Podium, I work on developing our programmes, specifically the pub quiz and Food for Talk. In my spare time you can find me on the football field as a player and a referee. Besides that, I'm always in for an adventure. Are you proposing a spontaneous weekend trip? I'm in!

Amber - programme creator
I'm a journalism student and I as a programme creator for Podium I mainly focus on the programme "1 uur over". I enjoy discussing different topics! Next to my love for jounalism, I also really like R&B-music. A fun fact about me: I read about one to two books a week, a real booklover.
Floor - programme creator
At Podium I work on talkshows and in the background we are also working on a new podcast. I am already in my fourth year of journalism and hope to work as a radiopresenter after my studies. Sitting still is not for me! I like to run around the whole country to get to know new places and people just like the busy bee I am. The train and many coffee places I visit are also known to be my working space

At Podium I am responsible for the promotion of the Dutch events. I am also in the process of finishing my studies in journalism.

I am planning on using my skills of writing, graphic design, social media and video creation at Podium.
Lucas - programme creator
I'm an International Business student and I bring a unique global perspective to our events and to the Podium HU team. I joined Podium because I wanted to make a positive change to student life and well-being and I hope to accomplish this with my future events! I’m also really passionate about creating engaging and diverse programs that connect students from all backgrounds and studies alike. Looking forward to contributing to our vibrant community!
Jan - programme creator
I study Creative Business and work on Podium's English spoken events . I've been a street dancer since 2011. I'm originally from Poland, where I used queer culture as an inspiration for my artistic work. Art, in a very broad sense, is an extremely significant part of my life. I would love to make a meaningful and positive impact on people with our events.
Cara - promotions officer
I'm a second-year Creative Business student from Berlin with a passion for all things art, aesthetics, and design. As promotions officer, I focus on promoting English-language events. Alongside my role at Podium, I'm also actively involved with the Study Programme Committee for Creative Business. In my free time, you’ll likely find me exploring antique shops, taking long walks, or diving into creative projects.
Hannah - promotions officer
I’m a Creative Business student, and work as a promotions officer for the English-spoken events at Podium. I love travelling, and am always excited to explore new cafés and restaurants. My biggest passions are fashion and interior design, so you’ll often find me scrolling through Pinterest for fresh ideas. I can’t wait to bring my sense for style and creativity into my role at Podium!
Samoa - marketing and communications coordinator
Within the Podium team my role is to make sure that we cater our events and programmes to a diverse audience. As an anthropology graduate, I’m curious about the HU students and their view on the world. My world mostly revolves around good food, rugby, and craft projects.
Maria - production executive
Within the Podium team I'm involved in the production, preparation, implementation and settlement of all the events. I make sure all our events run smoothly, a wide variety of tasks! I like to move and can use my creativity and love for culture in my work as well. I enjoy art house movies, museums, concerts, Latin America, good food, games, and the sea.
Roselyn - marketing and communications coordinator
Together with my colleagues I make sure that all the awesome Podium events find an even wider audience. I consider myself a cultural omnivore, I love going to (post-punk and indie) concerts, arthouse films, the theatre, debate programmes and literary events… But most of all, I love the visual arts, that’s why I also study part time at the art academy in The Hague.
Iris - programme coordinator
At Podium I help the international programme creators develop exciting events in English. I love how art (literature, theatre, cinema, etc.) can entice you to think about yourself and the world around you. At Podium I’ve merged my passion for culture and work experience in a job. When I'm not at work you can probably find me curled up on the couch with a good book, at the cinema, or in the yoga studio.
Josien - programme coordinator
I supervise the creation of new programmes and the organisation of events at Podium. I enjoy working with talented students and cooperating with other organisations. Apart from that, I like running in the woods, tending to my own garden, and visiting libraries. That's why I'm very happy to be working for the HU library one day a week.
