Mónica Wolters
Communication Manager 2019 While seeing my academic life coming to an end and knowing that soon I was going to have to leave my National Confederation and my Junior Enterprise, I was sure that I wasn’t ready to leave this incredible Network behind quite yet! I wanted to commit to it one last time before moving on to the “grown ups” life. So I took the challenge to join five amazing people in Brussels for a year to work to improve and develop our Network. Positions aside, this was the year where I felt I learned and grew the most, met so many different people from different backgrounds and cultures, and for sure, will take this experience in my heart for the rest of my life!
