Every week we intro you to a CH member. Perfect conversation starter when you see each other in the lounge or at the next community event 💃
Hey, Chelsea Fam! This week, our spotlight is on Janieke - you can call her Niek😊 She's from a city called Hoofddorp, from the Northwestern European country that's famous for their windmills and tulips -- Netherlands 🇳🇱
She's currently studying business at the JSMB faculty of Concordia University. Which means she can literally wake up 5 minutes before class to get there in time 😂 if you take your time
Niek loves going to the gym, having movie nights (she was at our cinema event 2 weeks ago!), going shopping or doing activities with her friends.
She chose Chelsea House 🏡 as her home in Montreal because of its safe, friendly, and familiar environment. You've probably seen her and her inseparable roomie Antonia 🇮🇹 from Italy literally trying every single foodie and cocktail spot in Montreal 🍸
Niek, we would love to get your top 10 favorites food & entertainment recommendations. The incoming batch of Chelsea members would thank you deeply for it !!
Janieke's family and friends describe her as someone who is straight to the point, ambitious, caring 🤗
Thank you for choosing to be part of the CH Fam, Niek! ❤️
