Trainee

With my background in international relations and law, I have seen how policy and politics intersect and create impact. With my international experience and knowledge of law, trade, and European politics, I aim to contribute a fresh perspective to Public Affairs solutions at Public Matters and further develop my understanding of (Dutch) politics.

Persoonlijk

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, whether walking, running, or playing tennis. I also love cooking, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
