“While I was coaching students for the X-honours programme I slowly started to realize that this was becoming my priority. Working with students is so meaningful and I found it so rewarding. I'm naturally inquisitive and caring, and my heart was telling me that I wanted to do more with coaching students. When I saw this position I knew I didn't have to think twice, especially as teaching is completely different to what it used to be. Traditional ways of teaching are gone. You offer your knowledge, but don't just dish it out. We give students tips and tools so that they can find things out for themselves through doing and exploring.”

NHL Stenden offers opportunities
“The fact that I've become a lecturer or that I was able to be an X-honours coach alongside my work in marketing shows how large an organisation NHL Stenden is and the opportunities it offers. If you want something and you talk about it, then you see just how much is possible. Like how I've always been able to do two very different things and now have the chance to start work as a lecturer without yet having my teaching qualification. I start the course after the summer. Learning is ongoing at NHL Stenden and there are loads of courses and webinars you can take. What other organisation has all that?”
Be who you are
“My colleagues are really flexible and driven, constantly working on developing themselves and learning more about the things that are happening around us. It's a way of ensuring our classes are always up to date. The work culture is really good and it means you can really be yourself. People see you; you can give your opinion and it's not seen as strange. And there isn't really a particular dress code, you can simply be who you are. I felt really welcomed when I started and my colleagues all do that little bit extra for me and for each other. Like giving me all kinds of extra help without me having to ask for it. That's so nice. ”
Coming home to NHL Stenden
“I love that as soon as I walk into the NHL Stenden buildings, I'm surrounded by activity. Ateliers, students at work, people nattering on a coffee break, colleagues holding meetings surrounded by students. It's a melting pot of students, coaches, external partners and staff and it always makes me think how great it is that I work here, that I can be a part of it all. I really feel at home here.”
