My name is Nelli, I am 26 years old, and I come from a little village close to Koblenz in Germany. With my roots in Russia and Kasachstan, I grew up interculturally and bilingually. After my bachelor´s degree in Business in Bonn, I specialised in International Marketing and Sales in my master's degree in Münster. During this time, I also spent a semester abroad in Sweden, which was a unique experience, and where I learned a lot about myself. In my practical experiences, I was lucky to work for a market leader, I was able to create events, get inspired, contribute to research with European projects and be a role model helping beginners to succeed. For me, it is important to develop myself and that I do something that fulfils me. Outside of work and study, I love to travel and get to know other cultures. Doing sports, especially playing volleyball clears my head, and seeing my friends, as well as good food or a good book, calm me down.

Now I am working on my passion topics, New Work and Women's Empowerment, managing Erasmus+ and BMBF projects, and supervising students in consulting projects.
