Since my start at Fresh Food Technology I have always worked closely together with Van Amerongen CA technology. I joined VA in the management of the Sales and Service department due to my role in the ERP implementation project. Because of my research background I will also be part of the R&D team of VA.

The job as International Project Manager is challenging as well as versatile. I am responsible for international sales of turn-key projects in the Agro-food sector. The management of the consultancy and implementation phases is also a part of my job. We set up projects focussed on farmer owned companies. With our help they are able to obtain control over their value chain. Poverty alleviation through business development. Furthermore I am responsible for the Indian office in New Delhi and supporting the South Asian Sales. I work closely together with Van Amerongen CA technology and b-Cat bv for alternate low oxygen applications.

This research project was focussed on the effect of grazing lawns on the vigilance of large African herbivores. The first month I wrote a research proposal in preparation for my field studies. The location of my research was the Welgevonden Private Game Reserve in South-Africa. I gained extensive knowledge on grass determination, animal observations and working in a potentially dangerous animal environment. On my return to the Netherlands I did a comprehensive statistical analysis on my data.
