Through my participation in the Class of 2020, I have gained a more thorough understanding of financial news. Terms like ‘earnings per share’ or ‘initial offering’ don’t puzzle me anymore.

Berfin Tas
Hi, my name is Berfin! I will be starting my Master's in Finance and Investments in Rotterdam. I have been interested in finance ever since I started my Bachelor's, with my favourite topic being behavioural finance, which is about the influence of human error and biases on the stock market. The past year I gained more practical experience through an internship in Private Equity. In my free time I love to travel, cook and undertake fun activities with friends! I am very excited to be part of the board of Dutchess Capital and to further develop my financial knowledge with like-minded women, so I am looking forward to the start of the investment program. During the upcoming year, I will be responsible for managing our partnerships and Dutchess Work.

Femke Schat
Hi everyone, my name is Femke! I finished my bachelor's degree in Econometrics and Operations Research in Groningen, where I started my Master's degree this year as well. I was always interested in investing & the financial sector and did an internship in the branch last year. Besides that internship I did another one at a consulting boutique in Kuala Lumpur. My favourite topics considering investing are impact investing and developments in the tech sector. In my free time, I love to travel. What excites me most about Dutchess Capital is going through the investment program with all of you and making this year a great success together. In the upcoming year, I will be handling all of the Finance-related affairs and portfolio management for Dutchess Capital.

Emma Dam
Hi! My name is Emma and I am currently pursuing a masters in Pharmacy at Utrecht University. As a student with a non-economic background, the world of investing has always seemed incomprehensible yet very fascinating. Consequently, the mission of Dutchess Capital to educate and empower women in investing has inspired me since the very beginning. I am very excited to be a part of the Dutchess team and I am looking forward to a successful investment program with all of you! My tasks as a board member entail the community and events of Dutchess Capital. Specifically, my aim is to organize several inspiring and informative events throughout the year as well as keeping a close Dutchess community network!
