Amalishiya Robert, Class 20
Currently living in: Hamburg, Germany
Currently working as: Consultant at Associmates GmbH (which is founded by Class 06 Alumnus Tobias Berger)
On the picture above, you can see Amalishiya at her Graduation in April 2021 – due to Covid, Class 20 received their diplomas virtually via Zoom.
Where are you currently working and what is the biggest issue that you are facing at work or what is currently keeping you busy there?
I’m at the beginning of my career in the consulting area. I work in a startup environment which is a new work set-up for me. But I’m finding my way around. That’s what I would say is challenging at the moment. Personally, it is important for me to reflect on where I’m at and what my improvement areas are. As my ex-supervisor used to say, ‘there is always room for development’. So, looking forward to first rounds of feedback from my supervisors.
Has there been a professional challenge since you were a student for which your studies or experiences at the NIT have prepared you for perfectly?
Definitely! The one thing that comes to my mind instantly is communication and conflict management. Sabine’s training at the NIT is very helpful. Both in personal and professional life.
What has happened in your private life in the meantime?
It’s not been a long time since I finished NIT. I'm a baby Alumni. I graduated from the NIT in October 2021 and as I’m writing this, I graduated from TU as well. So, that’s great! I’m working full time now. I've been able to explore new places in and out of Germany recently. Chilling with friends every now and then. Super excited to go home this year end!
What is your most precious / special / remarkable memory from your time studying at the NIT?
Haha I could write pages on this. But to sum it up, I appreciated the kindness and compassion in my classmates more than anything else. They are all such great inspirations 😊
How to keep in touch with me:
Via LinkedIn or by email.
