Astrid Vincendon

Hi all,

as I am applying to join the MUO Service Council, I would like to introduce myself to you.

I am Astrid, 35 years old, living in Maastricht and mother of our cheerful daughter Sophie since one year. Outside working hours you can find me in the kitchen cooking, I am fanatically doing weight training or going for a long walk/hike.

I have been working at Studio Europa Maastricht, part of MUO, as an office manager/project coordinator for over 2 years now. My work location is located on the beautiful Onze Lieve Vrouweplein. As a result, MUO is not only physically, but also sometimes theoretically a bit further away from us. Therefore, participating in the Service Council is a way for me to gain more insight into what happens outside my job and our work location. But also to see up close which and how decisions taken from higher up affect my work and that of my (MUO) colleagues.

By participating in the MUO Service Council, I want to gain more knowledge and experience about the ins and outs of the university. Above all, I want to contribute by thinking along about the direction and (further) development of the university and MUO.

In my work, I have indirectly experienced the whole process surrounding the creation of the International Office, which I found very interesting. I see running for the MUO Service Council as a great new step for 2025!
