After graduating from Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen, I enrolled in Maastricht University's International Business program, specializing in Emerging Markets. This interdisciplinary course integrates economic analysis and business economics to tackle challenges specific to rapidly growing economies. It equips students with essential knowledge for thriving in global business or policy roles. Alongside my studies, I gained valuable work experience in the hospitality sector, particularly as a team leader. This role sharpened my ability to perform under pressure, ensuring high customer satisfaction while actively contributing to operational and strategic decisions.Looking ahead, I am preparing for an upcoming internship abroad, a pivotal component of my Bachelor's degree. This opportunity will allow me to apply my academic insights in a real-world, cross-cultural setting. Beyond graduation, my aspirations include pursuing further academic endeavors to deepen my expertise and contribute meaningfully to my chosen field.
