Current branch committee

Chairman
Isabelle Lefelmann
I am in my 4th year with the OU and studying towards a BSc in psychology. Studying with the OU is never boring, very interesting and international. I live and work in Frankfurt and like all the possibilities this city offers.

Secretary
Sylvia Preiß
This is my 2nd year at the OU and over the long-term I am aiming for BSc (Hons) in Molecular Sciences, but to begin with, I am studying for a Certificate in Natural Sciences. As my full-time job is my first priority the OU was the best choice for combining both studying and work. At work I am a lab technician in quantitative bioanalytics in a pharmaceutical-chemical company. I live happily together with my partner in Darmstadt and children need to wait until I am one day fed-up with studying.

Treasurer
Martina Voll
With the aim to finish a BA (Hons) in Business Studies one day, I started November 2009 with B130. I live and work in Frankfurt. Beside my full-time job, I am on the Board of BPW Frankfurt, an international women network and enjoy the Oper Frankfurt.

Social Officer
Petra Burghaus
I am a natural scientist by training and work at a university. Since 2008, I study courses on environmental issues with the OU to put my strong interest in wildlife protection and nature conservation onto a more solid ground. I aim for BSc/BA in Environmental Studies.

NERF Reprsentative
David Ferguson
I have just embarked on my studies with the OU, hoping to complete a BA (hons) in History with the idea of eventually becoming a teacher. I am an English guy who fell in love with a small city called Freiburg and as a result decided to stay. Before I came to Germany, I lived in New Zealand for four years and before that on a small island called Guernsey for ten years. So basically I'm now ready to get some studying done and be rid of the contagious travel bug.

Webmaster
Tina Keil
I've finished my BSc (Hons) in Psychology at the Open University in 2007 and have started my MSc in Psychological Research Methods. Currently, I work as a Sysadmin for a local University of Applied Sciences. I'm married with 1 husband, 1 cat and 5 computers.
