Working for over 14 years for the University of Twente I have a wide variety of experience in the field of education and support. I started as a Programme Coordinator for Business Administration, was the coordinator of Twente Graduate School and now I am working as a Quality Assurance Coordinator Education for the Faculty of EEMCS. Having a keen interest in Quality Assurance, I’m the chairperson of the University of Twente Platform Quality Assurance (UTpK) and within my faculty I’m also the project leader of the Quality Agreements, working together with a lot of colleagues in and outside my faculty.

In the past, I worked as a project manager for many years at the Leidse Onderwijsinstellingen (LOI) as part of a Business Unit with a diverse portfolio. Before that, I was a Programme Coordinator at the University of Leiden and Nyenrode.

As far as participation concerns, I was an employee member of the Faculty Council of EEMCS for two years and for the last two years, I have been an employee member of the University Council. I am looking forward to be a part of the University Council again and I’m also expecting to learn a lot in the process, as has been the case in the last two years. Having an expertise primarily in the field of education, I will participate in the subcommittee of education research and student affairs (OOS), but also looking forward to discuss other topics.
