Valentine Tscharner

Hi Valentine!

Introduce yourself!
Salut! My name is Valentine and I'm from Geneva. I did my Bachelor at EPFL, with an exchange year in Portugal, and now started my Master at ETH. I'm always looking for new experiences and I love travelling, spontaneous plans and getting out of my comfort zone. Those traits were the main reasons I decided to do my Masters at ETH last minute ;)

How long have you been at CSNOW?
I joined CSNOW in the Spring Semester 2024

What do you like about working at CSNOW?
Before I joined as a team member, I greatly enjoyed going to the social events organised by CSNOW. When arriving in Zürich, they enabled me to build strong connections to other female students, on top of also simply being very fun :) I find it very interesting and rewarding to now be one of the people helping to organise those activities and give the opportunity to other students to experience the same thing. I also always strive to find occupations that have a positive social impact, and I believe CSNOW is a great way to work towards that goal.

What is your favourite animal?
I would say hedgehogs. When I was little, we used to build houses for them in our backyard so that they could spend a comfortable winter and I became very fond of them. I also love the duality of their intimidating spikes with their overall cuteness!
