How has your background shaped you?

From a young age, I have been deeply interested in people's minds and (inter)group dynamics & in the theme of happiness. To me, it’s no different when it comes to happiness at work. So contributing to an environment where people can thrive and feel good is my goal.

What do you like to do outside office hours?

Outside of work, I love being around or on the water, having dinner with friends, hiking with my dog Otto, and working out. In general, I like everything as long as it's outdoors. Lastly, an absolute passion of mine is skiing. There won't be a winter for me without a ski-trip.

What are your favorite tips for a happy work life?

1. My tip for a great work-life balance: Start your working day with a great workout or use your afternoon break for it. It will help you and your brain enormously!
2. Reflect on what causes friction, I like this quote: “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” (C.Jung)
3. Read the book: Hyperfocus (C. Bailey)
