About

Nieuwe ervaringen opdoen en deze delen met anderen motiveert mij elke dag weer. Met mijn enthousiasme, gedreven ambitie en doorzettingsvermogen zet ik mij in om mijzelf en vooral de mensen om mij heen te motiveren. Om hiermee een toevoeging te zijn voor mens, milieu en maatschappij is een van mijn grootste drijfveren. Met een achtergrond in de toegepaste natuurkunde en ervaring in de werktuigbouw en het management creëer ik verbinding tussen mens en techniek. Met deze ervaring zorg ik ervoor dat door middel van samenwerking, tussen zowel mensen onderling als mens en techniek, de gestelde doelstellingen worden behaald.
