Description

At my happiest when in nature.

I have been living a nomadic life since 2023, doing many house sits, and growing a lot of food in agroforestry systems in 2024. I am very passionate about food, the food system, music, and meeting people.

Permaculture and Agroecology have been a focus to me for quite some time, even more so since I started volunteering at a CSA and as a vegan cook at a community kitchen (2019) in Amsterdam, where I have lived for the past 9 years. I happen to also be a certified nutritionist and love cooking together, especially while listening to music.

In previous lives I worked as an IT project manager and product owner, including 2 NGOs (one in nature conservation, another in agricultural certification and standards), and have been working as a sustainability, circularity and agroforestry consultant since 2021. I am now working at my 3rd NGO, fully remote, designing (agro)forests and business models that support people in thriving in their territory, while regenerating local ecosystems and communities.

I learn the most by doing, be it for gardening, cooking, planting, doing woodwork, painting, or using any of the skills I have been learning throughout life.
I am originally an industrial product design graduate, which means I was trained in mechanical workshops for a few years. I am quite a handy person, and I legitimately love organizing and fixing things around.

Walking, actually, hiking, is my favorite thing in life, followed by cycling, and running. Working out is one of my forms of connecting to myself, as well as meditation, yoga, dancing, having picnics and mindful conversations.
