​Hey everyone! 👋

My name is Silvia Gregorio, and I'm your new president of UMAMI!
I'm originally from Molfetta, a small town in Puglia, southern Italy.

I studied Gastronomy Science in Camerino, and since pretty much always, I've had a hard time staying in one place.

 

By 15 I was already doing a semester abroad in the US on my own, and from there came three Erasmus experiences in Alicante, Split and Valencia, summers working in tourist villages since high school, 10 years of scouting, and eventually landing here in Venlo.

During my bachelor's I was social media manager for ESN, organizing events and getting to know what makes a student community actually work. Last year I was already part of UMAMI as Internal Commissioner of the Activity Committee, so this role feels like a natural next step.

Outside of all that I love traveling, cooking, painting, sewing, basically anything creative where I can make something with my hands.

 

I won't lie, Venlo can feel quiet. I've been here longer than most of you and I know that feeling well. What I'd love is for us to fill these two years with things worth remembering: events, company visits, trips, moments that make this chapter actually feel alive, both for everyone here now and for the new students joining next year.

Really looking forward to getting to know all of you. Feel free to reach out anytime!

Silvia 🌻
