Since I was a child, I have always had passion for hospitality. I have always loved cooking and serving my family drinks, and I still very much do. I have been born and raised in the Netherlands, and I love travelling and meeting people from many different backgrounds.

Immediately after graduating high school I have started my studies here at the Hotel Management School Maastricht, which I enjoy thoroughly. During this time, I have worked in various hospitality businesses as employee, supervisor and F&B manager. I have also engaged in activities related to my studies, such as participating in and organising a masterclass and participating in competitions. Challenging myself and working with passionate and openminded people is something I really enjoy.

Over the course of my life, I have become increasingly engaged with sustainability, both personally and professionally, as the issue is becoming increasingly pressing, and luckily also considered to be increasingly important. I hope to be able to contribute to making the world more sustainable through this challenge, and will continue doing so in the future.
