Femke Postma
Hi everyone! My name is Femke Postma, I'm 20 years old, and I was raised in Dokkum, a small town in the north of Friesland. This year, I am the Internal Relations Officer of the FSG Board. Currently, I am in the final phase of the BSc Business Administration - Accountancy & Controlling. During my first year, I joined the Activity Committee where I got to know many people and organized four fun events with my fellow committee members. Following that, I held the position of Chairman in the Conference Committee. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, working out and you can often find me working as a barista! The association provides numerous formal and informal events, which, for me, is the perfect opportunity to develop my professional skills while still having an amazing time with friends.
During that year, I learned a lot, and participated in many activities with my fellow committee members! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and roommates, and also I like working out. During my board year, I hope to become more self-aware and develop my personal skills further.
