When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking forest trails with my dog or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
I completed my MSc in Environment and Resource Management at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where I focused on the interdisciplinary aspects of environmental challenges and solutions. I have a strong background in history, marketing, and communication, which enables me to approach complex issues from different perspectives and communicate effectively with diverse audiences. My ultimate goal is to use my skills and knowledge to create positive impacts for the planet and its people.
