At Kiwa Netherlands, I am continuously on the lookout for ways of speeding up the transition to a sustainable construction sector. A large part of that lies in closing resource cycles and supporting the circular economy. Kiwa plays a key role in safeguarding the successful transition through its services of testing, inspection and certification. Previously I explored the water sector as an intern at the Waste Water Advisory Group of Royal HaskoningDHV. My background is in environmental sciences; BSc Environmental Sciences and MSc Urban Environmental Management, both at Wageningen University and Research. I am internationally oriented and experienced a great Erasmus exchange program with BOKU Wien (University of Life Sciences, Vienna). Besides my studies, I have taken great pleasure in extracurricular activities, e.g. a part-time board year at Study Association Aktief Slip. I've also been a student representative in several committees at the university.
