About Me

Hi there! I´m a Dutch student, living in and around Leiden, the Netherlands. Currently, I´m in my second year of my bachelor´s degree of Delta Management/watermanagement. I have developed a very strong passion for sustainability and systems thinking and I would love to share it with many people. My plans for this summer include a 5-week trip to the US to conduct research into Vertical Farming.
