Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
I consider myself a researcher with a passion for healthcare and patient well-being. I believe in working hard to achieve my goals and this quality has made me disciplined and allows me to organize my activities and set my priorities. Regardless of the work environment, my aim is always to fulfil a proactive role and to deliver work of quality. I can quickly adopt to any situation and incorporate newly acquired knowledge (theoretical and practical). In addition, my didactic ability allows me to transfer newly acquired knowledge onto others, which is supplemented by my fondness for teaching. Altogether, my characteristics and qualities motivate me to want to keep learning and to keep challenging myself in becoming and remaining a researcher of high quality.
