The Randstad, Netherlands
I am an ecologist with a strong link to policy. Working together on environmental challenges in the water system and translating this into policy and decision making processes gives me energy. I am a connector who enjoys working towards a more sustainable and healthier world for nature and humans.
I am developing knowledge and leading (inter-)national projects on ecology and climate change in water systems. Apart from that I contribute to the strategic research on keeping delta's livable and am part of a collaboration with Rijkswaterstaat and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water to establish long-term research on climate change adaptation and mitigation
