Als duurzaamheidsadviseur en projectleider bij de gemeente Utrecht houd ik mij met name bezig met het ruimtelijke spoor van de energietransitie

As urban planner and landscape designer, the emphasis of my work is on the spatial impact of the energy transition. In doing so, I focus on spatial integration and synergy with other major tasks such as climate adaptation and the transition of agriculture.

As a researcher at Alterra Wageningen UR my passion is to work on the realisation of a high quality and sustainable green living environment. Within the Alterra focal program ‘Green Economic Growth’ I work with the Private Sector to search and facilitate green business models. The Green Economic Growth program can be defined as a strategy to stimulate economic growth in rural and urban areas, ensuring poverty reduction and quality of life for all without overexploitation of natural resources. With my background in Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture I contribute to making the process creative and interactive.
