Jens Kuppers

I am a 23 year old masters student in Philosophy and Economics. While I am originally from the Netherlands, I have lived and worked in numerous countries including the United States and Ireland. Currently, I live in Vienna, where I am completing my master's programme, whilst looking for a part-time job to go along with my study. I am very much compatible in international environments, having grown up in them myself. I also have experience working for a wide variety of companies including non-profits, universities, and franchises. I bring a positive and passionate energy to any workplace and make the most out of any opportunity. Excited to start my journey here in Vienna!
