Brandt School Student Government

Hello everyone! I’m SK Arman Hossain from Bangladesh, currently pursuing a master’s in public policy at the Willy Brandt School, University of Erfurt. I hold a bachelor’s degree in international relations from the University of Malaya in Malaysia. As a dedicated political activist, I am actively involved with a political party in Bangladesh, focusing on their research initiatives. I am passionate about promoting human unity and social consciousness. With a strong aspiration to become a policymaker in Bangladesh, I am here to deepen my understanding of policymaking and contribute to positive change. 

Hello all!

Namaste!

I'm Yashaswini from India. I completed my bachelor’s degree in sociology from Sophia College for Women, Mumbai. 

Before starting my master’s here, I was working on the Aspirational District Project, a Public-Private Partnership project run by Niti Aayog, the official think-tank of the government of India.

I enjoy dancing and music.

As the treasurer, I'm responsible for handling the finance for activities at the Brandt school and I wish to create a cohesive environment for all.

Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’m from the United States. Before joining the Willy Brandt School, I was a digital communication strategist working on advocacy campaigns, including projects to protect reproductive rights and fight against climate change. I’ve also worked as an organizer on several competitive political campaigns across the United States.

In my free time, you’ll find me going on a run or trying a new restaurant in Erfurt.

As the student representative, I am the point of contact between students and the Willy Brandt School. If you have problems with a class, lecturer, or any other MPP issues, feel free to react out.

Hello everyone!

I am Irene Osei-Owusu, your Vice President at the Willy Brandt School Student Government. I am a DAAD scholar from Ghana, and before joining the Brandt School, I worked in government, where I got a front-row seat to the fascinating (and sometimes puzzling) world of policy and finance.

When I am not knee-deep in coursework, you will likely find me on a tennis court, sightseeing around Germany, or catching up on some much-needed sleep (an underrated hobby, if you ask me).

My goal as Vice President is to make your time at the Brandt School smoother, more fun and filled with opportunities to connect, learn and grow. Got ideas, questions, or just want to chat? Get in touch 

Halli Hallöchen!

I am Maryannita but everyone calls me Maya. I come from Nairobi, Kenya and I am your social planner. My professional background is in political science and from an academic standpoint, I am interested in matters digitalization of governance (e-democracy).

True to Kenyan athletic standards, I enjoy running, and yes, just like the world champion, Eliud Kipchoge.

We will interact on multiple social occasions since my task as social planner revolves around organizing engaging activities and excursions within campus, Erfurt and neighbouring towns.
