about
born and raised in rotterdam, i recently returned from an amazing year in australia that challenged me in the best way. i’m passionate about running, yoga, pilates, exploring new places, enjoying good food and spending time with family and friends. after studying economics and econometrics, i started in sales at magnet.me to broaden my commercial skills. my analytical drive soon resurfaced, leading me into data analysis and now a business analyst role, where i use data to support better decisions. i enjoy working at the intersection of data, business and strategy, turning analysis into action.
i want young women to know that…
it’s okay to be both: analytical and human. being good at maths doesn’t mean you have to lose your softness. that balance can be your strength.
i’ve learned that trusting your own choices is important, even when others have opinions about your path. working hard and striving for the best is valuable, but so is making space to truly live.
for me, stepping outside my bubble every once in a while has been healthy. staying curious about the world and the people around me has brought me new perspectives, helped me grow, and honestly… it’s so much fun.
