Tjeerd Froentjes

Trainee

In addition to my bachelor’s degree in International Relations and my just-completed master’s degree in International and European Governance, in recent years I have been active for a party within the university council and for a political party within the Groningen city council. This sparked my interest in both international and national politics. Pursuing a career in public affairs was an easy choice because it deals with the intersection between politics, society and business. During my time as a Trainee at Public Matters, I hope to learn the ropes at the epicenter here in the Hague and to gain a lot of experience building bridges between different stakeholders.

Personal

In my free time, I like to spend a lot of time with friends and enjoy cooking, eating and drinking together. I enjoy sports and play squash, padel and recently also golf. Last but not least, I like reading books and watching documentaries.
