Hi everyone!
My name is Kim Wijnbergen, I am 20 years old and I am now in my third year of my bachelor's degree. I come from a village in the Achterhoek called Warnsveld. I grew up here on a dairy farm, where I developed my love for animals. I have ridden horses since I was little and I also find dairy cattle very interesting. So it was a logical step to study Animal Sciences. This was a very good choice because I am really enjoying my time in Wageningen and my studies
In my first year I still lived at home, but I also wanted to do things in Wageningen with friends and with “De Veetelers”. In my second year I joined PFC where I was treasurer and I also held the same position at Almanakcie41. I really enjoyed doing both of these. At the almanac I also came into contact with sponsors and I really enjoyed this. From there my interest in the position of External Information Officer was sparked.
I am looking forward to the coming year on the Board of study association "De Veetelers" and to be the connection between the association and the sponsors, various companies and all other “external affairs”. If you have any questions, you can always contact me or send an email!
Greetings,
Kim
Hey everyone,
My name is Lieke de Brouwer, I’m 19 years old and I was born in Waalwijk, a city in Brabant. When I was younger, I always said that I wanted to become an animal caretaker, and certainly not a vet, because I love animals but I was (and still am) really afraid of needles. That is why I chose to study Animal Sciences and I’m still very happy with that choice.
Next to studying, I like to do fun things with my friends, like watch movies or make and eat food. Since the beginning of my first year as a Veeteler, I have enjoyed attending parties and activities. That's why I really enjoyed being in the Freshmencie and the Akcie. Now I can proudly call myself Education Commissioner I of the board of “De Veetelers”. I believe that everyone should be able to get as much enjoyment out of their studies as possible, so I would like to improve education where possible to achieve that.
Kind regards,
Lieke
Hello everyone,
My name is Nienke Buist, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Ten Boer, a small village near Groningen. I’m currently in the second year of the Bachelor’s program in Animal Sciences. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to work with animals in the future, which is why I feel completely at home in this program and in Wageningen!
Besides studying, I enjoy walking, reading, horseback riding, and, of course, attending a party here and there. Since my first year, I’ve been active as a member of “De Veetelers”, first with Almanakcie 41, and later as part of the PFC board. Now, I’m proud to call myself Commissioner Internal Affairs of the Board of “De Veetelers”! I’m really looking forward to this (short) board year and am curious to see what it will bring me.
If you have any questions or are interested in one of the many committees of study association “De Veetelers”, feel free to approach me or send me an email!
Kind regards,
Nienke
Hi everyone!
I’m Fleur Gorissen, 23 years old and I’m currently in my fifth year of the bachelor, but I hope to start with my master soon. I come from Leidschenveen, which is part of The Hague. Even though I was raised in a more city like environment, I always had a passion for animals and the country side. Little me was already very curious when it comes to animals. If I saw an animal, small or big, I didn't hesitate to go over and have a closer look. This is still the case, so studying Animal Sciences was a logical choice and I never regretted it.
In my free time, I like to have a few drinks with friends and go to a party every now and then. That’s why you probably have seen me at the Woeste Hoeve quite often. I became active within Study association “De Veetelers” already in my first year by joining the 12th Lustrum committee. After this, I joined the Akcie and became the treasurer of the committee. At the same time, I became part of Véater 2023 and was a mentor of the Freshmencie. Last year, I was busy with making the 41st Almanac and organizing the ceremony. So as you can read I have been quite a busy within “Veetelersland” already.
I'm very grateful that I got the opportunity to become part of the Board as Board Member Treasurer. I’m looking forward to see what this year will bring me! If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to ask them!
Kind regards,
Fleur
