Education
Higher Laboratory Education, majoring in Biochemistry

Work experience
After completing my HLO Biochemistry degree, I worked for five years as a research technician in plant biotechnology. After a while, I realized that my ambition lay in the life sciences, but not in the laboratory, so I took various marketing courses and started working as a Technical Service Representative for a large supplier specializing in products for life science research and diagnostics. I then made the move to recruitment, where I have been working since 2000. In the early years, I focused mainly on recruiting laboratory staff, and in recent years I have shifted my focus more towards technology. My current position is Team Leader/Senior Project Consultant at XDES Projects. You can find more information on my LinkedIn profile.

Specialism
Providing advice on the various career steps that can be taken within the business world. Thanks to the extensive knowledge I have gained as a recruiter, I can paint a clear picture of the type of position that suits each person's qualities and ambitions. In this regard, I can play an advisory role and determine the direction of the next career step.

Motto
Steve Jobs: “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Somehow they already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is less important.”
