New Staff at the International Office: Helena Hoffmann
Helena Hoffmann rejoined the Incoming Office Team at Göttingen International in the beginning of 2020 after spending one year on parental leave. She works as a Study Advisor for international exchange students (with a focus on new arrivals). She supports students in all matters around accommodation, from assisting in finding the right place, over dealing with administrative issues to providing advice how to communicate with landlords or signing a tenancy in Germany.
Before joining the Incoming Office Team in 2014, Helena managed and organized major events at the International Youth Hostel in Heidelberg. Prior to that she spent some time in Spain, where she did several internships and briefly worked as a staff manager.
Helena holds an M. A. in Romance Philology (Spanish) and Cultural Anthropology from Georg-August University of Göttingen. In 2007 she spent the winter semester as an ERASMUS student at the University of Granada. Beside her interests for the Spanish language and culture, she loves traveling, playing the piano and spending time with her son.
