Meet our brand new Executive Team! This week we talked to our Events Director Mehalet Yared.
You can find interviews with Campus Correspondents Mari and Aino here, Senior Editor Aija and Marketing & Publicity Director Camilla here, and Social Media Director Maija here.
Can you tell us a little bit about who you are?
I’m majoring in environmental economics and minoring in political science. I’ve been on/off at Uni since 2013. I have a BSc in business administration and I did a double-degree in International management in France.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Besides reading, I like to attend interesting events and gatherings, anything that has sense of self-development.
What got you interested in Her Campus in the first place?
I’ve always been keen to start my own blog and this was a good way to write about things I’m interested in, and at the same time share my thoughts with amazing people.
What do you think are going to be the best things about your new role in the team?
I think the best thing will be organizing interesting events for our readers, together with our partners. I’m looking forward to engaging and collaborating with organizations that share the same values with us in HC.
What plans do you have for this academic year, with Her Campus or otherwise?
My plan is to meet new people, organize awesome events and increase HC visibility beyond the campus. I’ve been thinking that it would be cool to organize multidisciplinary and thematic events, together with interesting people. Lastly, my plan is to continue writing articles that interest our readers.
Finally, the most important question of all: favourite pizza toppings?
I like it hot ‘n spicy! My favorite toppings would be barbeque sauce, onion, fresh pepper, jalopeno, sundried tomato, coriander and pineapple.
