Hello dear community,
Wow, what an exciting start! I've been part of this wonderful community since mid-August and have already had so many exciting experiences - such as the inspiring Skillshare Talk «Sustainability Talk».
Now that it's slowly getting colder outside and it's getting really cozy in our hub, it would be the perfect opportunity to get to know you better over a cup of coffee or tea. I'm really looking forward to hearing your stories! You can find me either at the front desk or somewhere in the space - so don't hesitate to approach me.
It's a completely new experience for me to work in such an environment and I'm really impressed by the great structure of the hub and the harmonious teamwork. I am particularly impressed by the large number of great events that take place here. It's really rewarding to be part of such a committed and creative network. I would therefore like to say a huge thank you to you - you make this place something very special!
Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
