I'm a behavioral scientist, working as a student coach and communications manager at a small company in the center of Amsterdam. I grew up in a tiny town in the North of Holland and moved via Groningen (where I graduated) to Amsterdam.

I love to read, books newspapers and magazines, write blogs for our company website, cook healthy meals and do dance-workouts in the gym. But I'm only human, so I do spend too much on clothing, drink too much beer on a regular basis and love pizza.

My most ashaming guilty pleasures are drinking overly sweetened hazelnut soya latte's during lunchbreaks and loudly singing along with Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas' all december long. But no worries - I only sing when I'm alone, I'm a Friesian and Friesian nature is fairly tranquil :-)

One of my wishes for 2016 is to travel more - therefore I subscribed to Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I'd wish I'd done: Write scenario's for movies, write a book, run a marathon, study Small Business & Retail Management, start an enterprise for my amazing ingenious secret business idea, buy a huge house and start a woongroep or an Airbnbn, start a foundation and read books for demented elderly people or the blind, move to Rotterdam, visit New York, New Zealand, Japan and Kopenhagen. Where to start?

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, learn and share - That's what I do at work tutoring students and getting the message accross to the traget group.
