Who we are

Thomas here, a passionate advocate for transparent information and functional digital systems. In 2014 I was given the opportunity to combine my passion with helping students by starting the mymaastricht project as part of my work at Maastricht University. Now, I am working as head of the department of StudentenStad, providing solutions to various issues that students face in Maastricht. In my free time, I enjoy doing sports, such as riding my bike through the beautiful surroundings of Maastricht or working on complex challenges, but likewise, I enjoy a good beer. I always fancy a good debate on topics ranging from politics to the meaning of our existence and try to find joy in the little things in life.

Kees is the developer of mymaastricht. His job is to ensure the site keeps up and running and that we are delivering the best user experience for you. Kees has been involved in this project since late 2014 and has evolved the platform into how it looks right now. Next to seeing coding as a fun hobby, Kees also utilizes his hands on the keyboard in a musical way. In his spare time, he likes to smash a good ball on a tennis field if it doesn’t go over the fence or against the net.

 

Isabel Camps is a Dutch graphic designer based in Maastricht with a passion for graphic design and illustration. She is responsible for the visual aspect of mymaastricht, making sure that everything fits beautifully within the corporate identity and creating everything from logos to birthday cards. Her work is gorgeously colourful, fun and playful and represents a kind of “open-mindedness”. In her spare time, she loves decorating her own life, whether interior, fashion or photography. She can’t get enough of plants, cats and cheese. To see more of her work, you can see her website https://www.isabelcamps.nl

I’m Ronja, the content coordinator of mymaastricht.nl. I originally come from Finland but have spent a good deal of my life living all over the world. As the content coordinator, I write content for the website and answer all your questions about life in Maastricht. You might also see me at some of our events.

Besides working at mymaastricht, I study medicine and international business and work as a group fitness instructor at UM Sports. My free time is spent doing a lot of sports, from lacrosse to running and travelling at every chance I get. You can most likely find me at UM Sports or chilling at one of the cosy cafés of Maastricht.

I’m Orla, I’m the social media manager for mymaastricht. As well as managing the social media, I will be the person replying to your messages on Instagram and WhatsApp! I’m an Irish Master’s student studying Media Studies: Digital Cultures.

Outside of mymaastricht, I love playing music, travelling and reading. I also love Irish history so if you ever want to learn an unreasonable amount of trivia on Ireland’s history, let me know!

Hi, I’m Aisling! (pronounced Ashling) I came from Ireland to Maastricht to do my Master’s in Media Studies: Digital Cultures. I realised during this time that I am passionate about effective and clear communication. I now work as the project coordinator of mymaastricht. I promote the project in and outside of the University and work to maintain the visibility and legitimacy of the project. On a Sunday evening, you will find me cooking a nice meal for myself, usually something Italian, because I’m obsessed with pasta. I will admit that I also enjoy watching trashy reality T.V, like The Kardashians and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
