ABOUT US

Chris(tina) considers herself ES inventory by now. Other than being a fossil, she is also FAVA’s president and party planning co-head (who put her in charge of the latter? No one knows. All hail Luca!). Besides that, her defining characteristics are her love for tearjerking books, indie horror movies and IPA (doesn’t matter whether that makes you think of the international phonetic alphabet or india pale ale). While often slightly or considerably confused due to a chronic lack of sleep, she is always happy (and surprisingly capable of) helping you with any study-related questions or concerns.

Chris B. is FAVA‘s current vice president. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in English and French literature and linguistics both of which he will continue in his Master‘s. If you don‘t see him around the ES often, that‘s because he‘s currently working full time before he will be spending an entire year abroad (Canada and France). Moreover, he‘s well-known for being the one who makes others laugh as he‘s constantly cracking jokes.

Luca is the current co-head of the party planning committee of the FAVA. He is interested in video games, art, books and music, hence his choice of studying English and Art History in his BA. As one might have guessed, he is always ready to party or have interesting conversations with anybody. Don’t be shy and say hi!

Victoria is currently in charge of designing the flyers and posters. She studies English and German and when she is not doing something uni- or work-related she enjoys cooking, drawing and spending time with family.

Ida is an undergraduate student of History and English who joined the FAVA at the end of 2022. Her (unhealthy?) obsessions include art, writing bad poetry, and rewatching/rereading the same shows, movies, and books until the pages start to fall apart or her laptop goes up in flames. If you don’t mind her frequently referencing How I Met Your Mother, don’t hesitate to say hi!

Joey is an MA student of English and Social Sciences, going for the easy option after having bravely (and barely) survived a Mathematics minor at BA level. Within FAVA, he serves as Kafistübliqueen and helps to run the peer mentoring program. He loves reading, listening to music, going out for walks in the forest, and, on very special occasions, combining all three. He's always quick to fall into an obsession and could easily ramble on about the state of hyperpop or Russell T. Davies' run on Doctor Who for hours if only he could find somebody willing to listen.

Anna is an undergrad student of English and Media studies. Apart from studying she works in a social media agency. Due to an international background her passion is traveling and learning new cultures. In her free time (while saving up for another trip) she is to be found at ASVZ gym or walking around the city of Zurich with a coffee in her hand.

Nico is an undergrad student of English and Scandinavian studies who joined FAVA in early 2024. He is also a member of the Blueprint Masquerades, and his interests are too widespread to list them all, so let’s just mention cooking, DnD, target shooting, and playing guitar. He can usually be found somewhere around campus, and is always down to talk to people, despite a sometimes awkward appearance.

Pema is an undergraduate student of History of English and a member of the FAVA's peer mentoring program. She loves reading, playing the guitar and binging TV shows (especially repeating her all time favourites). Other obsessions are old books, sweets and good tea. As a master of procrastination you might see her stressed and anxious during exam week. Feel free to say hi!
