Trainee
During my bachelors and masters I have gained a lot of theoretical insights in policy processes and policy making, on both Dutch and European level. Often governments were discussed, however, public affairs was barely mentioned. This has triggered my interest in public affairs, which grew over the course of the years due to my board year at UNICEF Groningen. There I was able to experience on a small-scale how impactful policy influencing can be, which bolstered my interest in how policy ‘actually’ is formed.
As Trainee at Public Matters I hope to learn more about (influencing) policy processes! Besides being a trainee the coming months, I will be writing my master thesis for my double-degree master European Governance.
Personal
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, walking in the forest with my dog and playing tennis. Besides that I also enjoy reading a book on the couch (or on the beach).
