BOARD XXIII


Nice to meet you! I’m Celeste, a second year linguistics student from Italy. I’m beyond honoured to serve as treasurer and apply my insufferable saving habits to VOS’s budget 👹 while fostering community spirit amongst linguists of all years!


Hi! I’m Joanna, and at the ripe old age of 28 I’m the grandma of the VOS board. I’m originally from the UK but have spent the last 7 years living in Germany and the Netherlands! I never really know what to write in bios but I guess all you need to know is I love linguistics, Lord of the Rings and long weekends at festivals (alliteration is also a secret love of mine). When I’m not furiously studying away in the PCH library (read: figuring out how to blend in with Gen Z) you can find me working at the best brunch restaurant in Amsterdam or raving away until the sun comes up. It’s all about that work-life balance, iykyk.
I’m extremely excited to be VOS’s external affairs officer this year and make VOS XXIII the greatest edition ever! Stay foxy, vosjes.
