Vice President: Rita Matos
Known endearingly as Piccolo, due amongst other things to her slight stature, Rita completes the Taijitu of MIMSA’s leadership.

A relaxed guy who enjoys the sun and a cool beer, Stuart has the job of managing the MIMSA board, he is our secretary.

Margarida was born in Lisbon, the TRUE capital city of Portugal.
She has always felt the need to expand her horizons and found a refuge for that need in the city of Brno, where, due to her habit of involving herself in every cause, decided to join MIMSA’s board. Since she is also a control freak when it comes to money, treasurer is the ideal position for her.

Oh, by the way, the city is Coimbra and never say something bad about it.


Social Manager: Veronika Sykorova
From the Polish border of the Czech Republic in the dark recesses of Ostrava, Veronika, lived seven years of her life before she moved to the desert of Arizona with her Mom.

She continued her education at Arizona State University as Biochemistry major proving to the world that she’s not a typical blonde! Then, listening hard she heard the voice of her forefathers calling her back to her roots, so she packed her bags (and make-up) and moved back to the Czech Republic where she is currently in the 2nd Year. As co-head of the Social at MIMSA, she is able to promote the things that she loves the most (sports, people, travelling and Czech beer), whilst maintaining her interest in cheering till this day. A cool girl who is loved by many and really embraces life in the Czech Republic to its fullest, Veronika hopes to keep the pace of Masaryk University student’s lives fast and enjoyable.

After being a student rep, for the past 2 years, she was ready to take the next step and become part of the MIMSA Education Board.


Public Relations manager: Luís Gonçalves “Cyrillo” Cardoso
“Everything he does is awesome”
Cyrillo is an erratic but esteemed medical student who frequently becomes embroiled in bizarre and in some cases scandalous situations.
However shallow Cyrillo may come across as being, most episodes on Brno Diaries reveal at least some degree of depth to his persona, in many cases exposing a surprisingly vulnerable man, especially in relation to his fellow colleagues when it comes to bringing people together establishing a bigger and better community, a voice!
All of this favored him for the position of Public Relations of MIMSA for a second term with MIMSA.


Information Technology manager: Roye Mauthner
Born and raised in the warm Mediterranean climate of Israel, Roye has been involved in community services and volunteering activities all his life;
From serving as a Youth movement guide, volunteer in emergency ambulances services, helping native communities in Bolivia and many others.
Being previously a Para- medical (Army EMT guide) and IT (=Information Technology) administrator, Roye weaves the delicate combination of the human and cybernetics factors.
Bearing in mind that a constant communication and an accessible information platform will enable a solid ground for better studies, correct conducting in students’ life and better communication between the students, Roye found himself in the wining team of MIMSA for better students’ future and world peace.
