The Randstad, Netherlands
With a foundation in Medicine and a Master’s in Population Health Management, I focus on understanding and enabling transformations toward more equitable, wellbeing-oriented societies. As part of my current PhD research, I seek to understand how contextual conditions and collaborative dynamics enable or hinder cross-sector partnerships in driving system transformation toward integrated health and wellbeing systems. By uncovering what facilitates or constrains such partnerships across governance levels, I aim to inform policy and practice on the supportive conditions needed to strengthen the shift from reactive care toward prevention, health, and wellbeing. Overall, I bring a systems-thinking approach that goes beyond individual care, looking upstream to identify structural barriers and leverage points for sustainable change. With a strong sense of justice, I am especially motivated by the need to challenge inequities and support accessible solutions that serve all. I am also passionate about global and planetary health, and how collaboration and systemic design can shape healthier, more resilient futures. If you share an interest in systems change, equity, and the future of health, I’d be happy to connect.
