Julius Struijk
Game Programmer
Hello,
I’m Julius and I am currently studying CMGT at Hogeschool Saxion in Enschede. My focus is on programming which is the field where I expect to develop my skills the most. Aside from my studies, I also enjoy public speaking and debate as hobbies and believe that they are core life skills that everyone should know.

Communication Skills
I have been public speaking for over 4 years now. That is when I first my local Gavel Club. Since then I have participated in multiple public speaking and debate competitions. I believe that public speaking is important no matter which field you are in because it allows you to communicate well within a team and convey your ideas. This is why I belive that everyone should develop their own public speaking skills.
