Trainee
In high school, my political interest started to develop through debating society, philosophy, social studies and history. Because of my broad social interest, I started to study Administration and Organisation Sciences. I was interested in the interaction between people that can have unexpected effects in both the private and public domain. During my master’s, I further explored strategy and innovation in networks and organisational change.
The best thing I have learned in recent years is the interaction between society, organisations and government. What I missed, however, was a practical experience to see this interaction with my own eyes. The Traineeship at Public Matters offers me an excellent opportunity to do so, which I am very enthusiastic about.
Personal
Besides politics, I am interested in gastronomy. I keep an eye on the culinary world and am interested in everything that has to do with food and restaurants. I also like to drink with friends, make playlists on Spotify, watch Formula 1 and go to small cinemas.
