Michaëla Lew

I am Michaëla, an enthusiastic and versatile engineer with a passion for robotics and automation. In addition to my technical education and experience, I have taught as a cello instructor, co-founded a taekwondo school, and worked in the hospitality industry with a strong focus on customer service and teamwork under pressure. I also volunteered at the Green Heritage Fund, contributing to animal welfare and nature conservation, and was an active member of Rotaract Suriname, participating in social projects.

These diverse experiences have shaped me into someone who adapts quickly, enjoys collaboration, and takes responsibility. For me, robotics is more than technology; it is a way to create innovative and practical solutions that improve the way people live and work. I enjoy turning complex challenges into clear, effective solutions and continuously exploring new technologies that make a real impact.
