About Me

Hey, you! I’m glad you stumbled across my profile because since we (hopefully) beat COVID, I’m eager to share those late night deep conversations about….the perfect bolognese recipe (2 requirements: milk and red wine)😋

Goes without saying that I love to cook and would also be more than happy to visit different lesser known bars and restaurants in the city, while criticising the food’s lack of seasoning and the overwhelming strength of Belgian beer…but by the 2nd bar I’ll already be drunk 😆

Enough about my vices, my virtues are caring deeply about human rights, the environment and mental health…all light hearted stuff weaved in between passionate discussions about politics. Yes, I’m that person.

I’ve worked (and still do especially with the current crisis in Afghanistan) with refugees and asylum seekers in various capacities, as well as women’s rights, before pivoting to working on environmental policy issues. While
I’m not doing that, I am studying psychology so beware of an unsolicited diagnosis of your emotional state.

I’m fairly active and like to have a lot of things going on so I will drag you along to my many activities depending on your preferred flavour. These include: Latin dancing (salsa, bachata), pole/aerial dancing, CrossFit, the ocasional hiking trip, tennis, swimming etc.

I’ve got a bunch of other smaller projects that I won’t bore you with here, you’ll have to meet with me!

In general, I have a passion for life and want to live it to the fullest extent.
