"Italian passport but international heart. In search for a new challenge and adventure, after my high school education I decided to move to an entirely new country, where I was faced with a new language and culture. Slowly, I built a life here in Vienna and finally found a new family at the DA, a family made of some of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I am most thrilled to be able to represent my comrades, friends and their ideas this year. Indeed, it is a privilege to be a course speaker for MAIS-2 together with my colleague Lara Siebrecht. We will always make sure that the interests of our fellow students are heard and respected. Furthermore, we guarantee our availability throughout the whole academic year. Let's make this year memorable, together!"

"Already during my childhood, I was exposed to an international environment through my family (one side German, the other Scottish) and our various stays in Europe and the Middle East. That did not change when I decided to pursue my undergraduate degree in the United States due to my athletic career. Academic encounters in the U.S. ultimately led me to the DA. At the DA, I value our tight knit international community and feel very honoured to be a MAIS 2 course speaker this academic year. My role as a Course Speaker is to represent the interests of second year students in the MAIS programme. I also provide them a safe space and advice if needed. My fellow MAIS 2 Course Speaker Roberta Bezzi and I feel privileged to take on this role and we will do our very best to ensure that MAIS 2 interests are well communicated between staff and students."

"As ETIA course speaker, I want to represent and enforce the interests of my fellow students. In addition to this, my main goal is to strengthen the community within our program to create a social, transparent, and fair environment for everyone. Due to my various stays abroad, internationality is an essential part of my life, which I want to live and represent at the DA. In addition to this, I will do my best to contribute positively to the community and enable all students to realize their goals at the DA."

"As a DLG Course Speaker, my goal is to maintain an environment of a strong community. I want to be that person for you who you can approach, tell your interests but also concerns. Additionally, I think it is really important that we keep the exchange and cooperation in between the different programs. I want to put particular focus on that because I think this is also one of the reasons why this kind of feeling being part of the DA family even exists. In terms of cooperation, I think in the future we can definitely emphasize our work there and start further initiatives. Team work, caring for the students' well-being and being supportive are the values I personally share, and the ones I hope to embody as a DLG Course Speaker."
