Previous workplaces and positions: State Tax Inspectorate (VMI), Ernst & Young
Areas of expertise and career experience: Tax consulting, business consulting, business management.
Personal strengths: Persistence, positivity, and a good sense of humour.
Expectations for students: Be willing to learn and not be afraid to make mistakes. These are the most important things, because if you have the motivation, even after making a mistake, you will keep pursuing what you set out to do.
My motivation/personal goal for participating in the mentoring programme: Many things in life are built on partnerships. A good partnership is like finding the right shoe for the right foot in order to reach a particular goal. You may have the strongest foot and the most beautiful high heel, but that partnership will not be the right one for climbing to the top of a mountain. Unless you are as persistent as I am—you may still make it to the top, but it will not be much fun. 🙂
My motivation and goal in the mentoring programme is to build the right partnership to help you achieve the goal you have set for yourself.
