Treasurer + External Commissioner

Ruben Jacobus Emmanuel Schifferling
"I am glad to be chosen for these positions as I have little experience with these activities. However, I am fully confident in my ability to fulfill these roles as good as possible. I am looking forward to taking part in an unforgettable time with Umami."
Hello everyone!
My name is Ruben Schifferling. I am 25 years old, Dutch and I am a first year HFIM master student. I have a background in Health sciences with the Policy, Management and Evaluation of Healthcare specialization at Maastricht University. I chose this master because I wanted to know more about health and nutrition on a biological level. Also the entrepreneurship part seemed really interesting to me. However with my background I was not directly admissible and had to take the pre-master which prepared me for the masters program.
This academic year I will take part in the board of ISA Umami as the treasurer and external commissioner. I have little to no experience with these functions, and I thought that this presented a challenge for me to evolve existing skills and acquire new skills that will greatly benefit my professional life.
As treasurer I am responsible for the financial budget plan, keeping track of finances and providing financial advice to the committees. As external commissioner I am responsible for maintaining, building out and acquiring new relations with external parties like sponsors, alumni and other associations.
I am glad to be chosen for these positions as I have little experience with these activities. However, I am fully confident in my ability to fulfill these roles as good as possible. I am looking forward to taking part in an unforgettable time with Umami.
Feel free to contact me about any question you might have!
Kind regards,
Ruben Schifferling
