The 34th Board of M.S.B.C. HEEP
Mika Wickenhöfer, President
Hi, my name is Mika and I am the 34th president of HEEP. I am currently a second year bachelor student in economics and business economics. I have been playing badminton for nearly 10 years and enjoy it nearly as much as sitting down for 10 hours straight reading a good fantasy book from start to finish. Beyond that I enjoy eating any food that's not behind a locked door and consuming movie content like there's no tomorrow!
I am delighted to act as the face of HEEP for the year 2024-2025 and welcome the new experience. I hope to ensure everyone enjoys HEEP as much as I have and make for memorable board year!
Tessa Geurts, Vice President
Helloo, my name is Tessa and I’ll be the vice-president of HEEP for the upcoming academic year!
Because I had such a blast last year being board, I decided I’m not done yet and stuck around for another year, but this time as the vice-president :)
I’m currently in my first year of my master’s, and next to that I teach the wonders of biology at a high school in Maasi! I’ve been playing badminton since I was about 11, and it’s one of my favorite sports.
I hope to see many of you on and off court and am looking forward to another amazing year at HEEP! <3
Erik Wickenhöfer, Secretary
Hi, my name is Erik and I am the secretary of HEEP for this year! I am 23 years old and recently finished my Master in Digital Business and Economics. I have played badminton for 12 years and it is my favorite sport by far. Although this is my first board year, I am excited to be able to give back to HEEP after being a member for 3 years. I want to be able to give HEEP members the same amazing experience that I had the privilege of enjoying during my studies.
Beyond diving for every shuttle on the court, I also enjoy mountainbiking and skiing where free time allows for it, although I did not choose the right country to live in for those hobbies.
I look forward to meeting you on court!
Mathieu Kircher, Treasurer
Hey! My name is Mathieu and I will be serving HEEP as treasurer for this year. I'm 19 years old and currently in my second year of a bachelor's degree in data science and artificial intelligence. I discovered badminton 8 years ago, and played it on and off throughout the years, but it's consistently remained my favourite sport. It's always a good time playing at HEEP, and I'm glad to have been given the chance to give back to the association.
When I'm not struggling for air on the court, my hobbies consist in video games and music, whenever university work doesn't keep me busy.
So hey, don't be a stranger, I'll see you on court!
Fleur Ostendorf, Head of PR
Heyy! My name is Fleur and I will be your Head of PR this year. I am 20 years old and currently in my third year of studying Health Sciences at FHML. This is my third year of being a part of HEEP and I can say without a doubt that joining HEEP is the best decision I’ve made since I started studying in Maasie. I started playing badminton when I was 6 years old and it’s still one of my favorite things to do. Being able to play badminton with so many lovely people is truly the best thing there is and I’m here this year to capture that for all of you!
Besides playing badminton, I love to dance and hang out with friends (including a lot of Heeple of course).
I hope this year will be as great as the last two years and I can’t wait to make some more memories together! :)
Selma Willinek, Head of Activities
Hi, I am Selma and I am the Head of Activities. I am a 20-year-old Liberal Arts and Sciences student at UCM. I’ve been playing badminton for about seven years, and for the past year and a half, I’ve been a part of HEEP. HEEP has become much more than just the club where I play badminton at and is now a big part of my social life. Through HEEP, I’ve made great friends and shared countless memories, both on and off the court.
In my free time, I love getting creative and spending time with friends. One of the things I enjoy most about HEEP are the amazing activities, which is why I’m so excited to be Head of Activities for the upcoming year. Hope to see all of you on and off the court!!
Rutvik Karupothula, Head of ToCo
Hello hello, the name’s Rutvik, and I am the Head of ToCo (Tournament Commission) this year. I’m 20 years old (some say I look 30, but oh well) and currently in my third year of the Biomedical Sciences Bachelor at FHML. I’ve been playing badminton since I was 13, and the sport has allowed me to meet so many amazing people. On top of that, I’ve been a part of HEEP for the past year, and what a wonderful year it was, filled with unforgettable memories.
Now, as part of the Board, I’m excited to organize a HEEP tournament for everyone and make new memories with my fellow Board members and all the Heep members. If you ever want to grab a drink or challenge me to a game of singles or doubles, hit me up! ;)
