Graduate of the MSc. Politicology (International Relations track) at the University of Amsterdam and the MSc. Conflict Studies & Human Rights at Utrecht University, I follow Dutch, EU and global political developments with profound interest. Currently working for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the conventional arms and arms export control policy unit. My friends would describe me as an ambitious and energetic individual aiming to help mitigate political and security crises and contribute to a stable, sustainable and resilient earth.
