Anastasia Kosmidou

Medicine, Ulm

As a Medical Student pursuing a career in life sciences, I am strongly motivated to improve my conversational skills as well as my leadership skills. Being a be.boosted fellow, I look forward to grow among an inspiring and diverse group of people throughout the next months. Moreover, since having an interest towards public health issues, participating at my first MUN will give me further future directions.​​​

Vanessa Ruan

Global Health, Aachen

As a medical student with global health interest I want to fight global health crisis of which the greatest is currently the climate crisis and its (health) consequences. I am honoured to participate in the WorldMUN as a be.boosted fellow, particularly in times where Covid19 offers a window of opportunity in many ways. While sipping my rooibush tea with oats milk, I can’t wait to meet and get inspired by the other fellows!

Johannes Wüllenweber

Energy Science, Zurich

I am passionate about building connections between people, organisations and ideas to advance sustainability. be.boosted will help me reflect about how to build these connections in a diverse and inspiring community. Next to my Master’s studies in Energy Science at ETH Zurich, I’m founder of the student organisation greenAble – a great opportunity to directly apply the new skills I will acquire during the fellowship. 

Silvana Hultsch

Philosophy & Economics / Business Administration, Bayreuth

I am passionate about philosophy, especially the practical parts where you think about how to best solve pressing global problems. Aiming to put my thinking into practice now and later in my career, I am beyond excited about this opportunity to improve my communication and negotiation skills and to connect with such wonderful people with different backgrounds. Team Tokyo 2021 - let’s do this!

Nathalie Nidens

Medicine, Leipzig / London

Leadership isn’t about being the strongest or the loudest – it is about collaboration and empathy, about creating an environment of mutual respect. I believe be.boosted can provide an engaging community which will facilitate thought-provoking discussions and truly help us grow as individuals. To create the change we want to see in the world, we have to step out of our comfort zone. I am eager to see what challenges and opportunities may arise in the upcoming months – and how we will embrace them.

Jean Pierre Salendres

Public Policy, Berlin

Having innovative ideas is important but communicating them clearly and convincingly is key. We all had times when we had a great point but could not deliver it with the force and appeal that we intended to. That’s why I look forward to the fellowship’s rhetoric training. My public policy master program is turning me into a data geek so I am glad to step outside of the data room to join be.boosted!

Theresa Krause

Chinese Studies, Munich

Thanks to international exposure since I was 16, I have a mind as open as a valley, as the Chinese would say. Yes, I‘m a cosmopolite and my passion is China. That is why I’m pursuing a China-related PhD. That’s also why today, in the face of many global crises, I deem international negotiations, like at MUN conferences, of vital importance. Plus, I’m excited to develop my own leadership style during the fellowship.

Carlotta Wichmann

Cross-Cultural Psychology, Braunschweig

I’m Carlotta and I am absolutely thrilled to be part of the fellowship 2021!
As a student of cross-cultural psychology, I am very interested in international collaboration and be.boosted will provide me with the beautiful opportunity to learn more about it, while engaging with inspiring people. I am looking forward to advance my leadership skills and to meet the challenge of a MUN conference.

Božo Vucujević

Psychology in Sport, Cologne / Vienna

Bringing critical and scientific thinking together with social activism and motivation is the key to make an emphasis, awareness and potential change of current world problems. Joining the be.boosted delegation and the interdisciplinary team allows challenging yourself and others in this learning process. Thus, I am excited to network, share experiences and explore the boundaries of the comfort zone in order to grow and make an impact in my community.

Julia Elisabeth Kanning

International Culture & Business, Passau

Pursuing degrees in economics, politics and american studies as well as in journalism, I am thrilled to be part of the fellowship 2021 since it offers me the unique opportunity to combine my interests with a training in rhetoric, negotiation and leadership skills. Having lived in Costa Rica, New Zealand and the U.S. I am excited to join an international network of like-minded people to take on the challenge together.

Leandra Zimmermann

Engineering, Munich

I am passionate about building a more sustainable world. As an engineer in the clean tech field working at different start-ups, I got to know the importance of effective communication. I want to learn to express my thoughts and ideas clearly in order to foster maximized collaboration. I strive to improve my leadership and public speaking skills, push myself and grow – in a fun, collaborative environment. Soft skills are becoming increasingly important to create positive change in this world!

Fried Wilsker

Industrial Psychology, Berlin

I’ve always enjoyed being engaged with several projects at once, studying Psychology & Industrial Psychology (Berlin & South Africa) while producing music and playing in a band. Be.boosted facilitates my key drivers - curiosity, self-development and empathetic, enthusiastic people around me. Since the recruitment event I know how valuable interpersonal exchange and discussions about complex global challenges on this high level are.
