After finishing gymnasium in Haarlem, I went to study geology in Amsterdam. While completing my study, I started working as a geotechnical consultant for about ten years. The next six years, I was working for the Knowledge Centre Science and Technology, including three years as program manager for the Faculty of Science of the HAN University of Applied Sciences. In 2014, I started as operation manager for the Radboud Pre-University College of Science. In 2022, this job merged into the position of Managing Director of the Institute for Science Education. In April this year, I was appointed as Managing Director of HFML-FELIX responsible for the overall management of the institute, particularly in the areas of finance, HRM, project management, communication, external relations, and facility management. I am married with Rogier, besides being a great husband he is also a chemist and physicist with PhD involving laser technology, which is very convenient for me while working for HFML-FELIX. Together we have two children: Jonathan is a 3rd year student of mechanical engineering in Delft and Eliza just started high school. Besides work, I love to read, go to museums, and enjoy family time. I am looking forward to join the EMFL family, to get acquainted with the organisation, getting to know you and the laboratories, and to contribute to strengthening the European cooperation.
