CURRENT MISSION

Thrive as a student-athlete and travel whenever I can

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous Dutch who is open to conversations about anything. I do track and field and study at UNM. My event is the decathlon which means I can run, jump and throw! My favorite event is the pole vault. Next year I will start my MBA while finishing up my undergraduate degree. Being a student-athlete requires a lot of dedication to school and sport which means little free time. Whenever I get the chance to freshen my mind by traveling I take it.
I grew up in a city close to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Having lived on two continents has broadened my perspective of the world and made me an even more open-minded.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn from the past and work for the future while being happy with what you have in the present
