My broad interests in physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry were best expressed when Istudied Chemistry at Utrecht University. During my studies I was chemical educated from smallorganic and inorganic molecules towards large biomolecules. Different research projects andexercises helped me to getting acquainted with all the basic analysis and synthesis practices.In the end I favour the small inorganic molecules and compounds. This in combination with thecourse on catalysis was something that I really liked during my studies. The master thesis onBimetallic Catalysis at the Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis group was something that reallychallenged my knowledge on catalysis and developed new skills on research.Besides my studies, I spent much of my free time at student rowing club Orca, where I rowedfanatically. The drive and ambitions to develop myself in the lab but also more on a personal levelin a boat on the water really appealed to me. The years of training and rowing races at differentcourses (inter)national against rowers of the same level taught me valuable information about whatmy strengths are and who I really want to become. I loved the challenge of wanting to go forsomething that can only be achieved if you really go for it and put aside all the unimportant things.It taught me that when I really want something, I am persistent and only stop when the goal isreached or when I can't go any further. As a result, I also learned to listen to myself and go for ahealthier combination of work and sports.The internship as an Innovation Analyst at KPN and the role of Business Manager at TMC helpedme develop more soft skills that help overcome challenges at customers.With the Master's in Science and Business Management, I want to combine my chemistryknowledge with business and become a master in setting up profitable and sustainable projects. Iwould like to stay abreast of new insights about chemistry and help companies use this to theiradvantage
