Sjuul Derkx

Social Butterfly, Multilingual, International buddy

Hello everyone, my name is Sjuul and I am a buddy within the buddy system. Originally I am from Venlo and I lived in Nijmegen and for half a year in Portugal. I am an interdisciplinary PhD researcher with a background in finance, economics and psychology. In my  spare time I like to catch up with friends and family. I became a buddy to help people in their new environment settling down.

Feel free to reach out to me, I’d happy to help you with feeling home in the Netherlands.

Languages: I speak Dutch, English and understand German (B1) and a little French, Italian and Portuguese (A2)

Expertise: I have experience with being a buddy in the Netherlands. After my Erasmus in Porto I became a buddy in my student city for international students
