Vice President

Sara Harnett

Hi everyone! I’m Sára, this year’s Vice President. My role is to support the President, look after the wellbeing of our board and active members, and organize bonding activities for everyone :)

I’m half Czech and half Irish, and I lived in the Czech Republic my whole life before moving to Rotterdam! I’m in my third year of the Psychology bachelor at EUR. In my free time, I love traveling with friends and going to concerts. On a more everyday basis, I enjoy playing the piano or catching up with someone over a warm drink and a sweet treat.

Treasurer

Mariya Dineva

Hi everyone! I’m Mariya, this year’s Treasurer. As part of the EESA Board, we work together to create meaningful experiences for our members and strengthen our community. In my role, I help manage our finances — from budgeting and tracking expenses to ensuring our projects and events remain financially sustainable. We strive to make sure every initiative is both impactful and well-organized!

I’m from Bulgaria and currently in my third year of International Business Administration at EUR. In my free time, I love watching classic 90s TV shows, especially sitcoms — they’re the perfect way to unwind and share a laugh after a long day!

Marketing Director

Teodora Pop

Hey! I’m Teodora, a 21-year-old Romanian currently in my third year of International Business Administration. Right now, I’m doing an internship in logistics, which has been a great way to learn how things work behind the scenes in business. This year, I’m also the Marketing Director at EESA, where I manage our social media, promote events, and discuss potential partnerships with other associations. In my free time, I love traveling to new places and reading. I am so excited to be part of EESA this year!

Secretary

Hi, I'm Ella this year's secretary and in charge of the cultural committee. I'm a second-year IBCoM student and I am very excited for this year (especially the city trip👀)! I am from Slovakia, but I lived in Germany for a few years and finished a German international school in Slovakia.

I love to bring people closer together and share our similar but so different cultures.

In my free time I love to paint🎨 , but you will definitely find me somewhere where I can drink coffee ☕️😌.
