At the start of my student life, I decided to pick up tennis again. My brother and I both joined the tennis association D.S.T.V. Obvius and started playing frequently. Every year a spring and a fall competition organised in the Netherlands — my team and I participate in all of them.

During summertime, a lot of tournaments are hosted in the area, which offer a great opportunity for me to play some more matched (and earn some rating). 

Most of my youth I played in a field hockey team based in my home-town. During that time I always played in the first team within the age group, peaking at a competition one level lower than the national youth league. 

My most memorable match was played in AH&BC's Wagener Stadium, beating the Amsterdam squad and receiving special mention in the local newspaper.

As a privileged Dutch person, I got the opportunity to skiing yearly throughout my life. After practicing on skies for the first 8 years, I also started learning how to snowboard. In recent years however, I tend to prefer skiing, but this does depend on the snow-conditions .

For me, nothing beats being outside, on the mountain for a week. Whether the conditions are snowy, sunny or misty, I always find myself enjoying this time. 

Being outside, active, and social are three things I really enjoy. Golf, is the sport that encompasses all of these things. No matter the type of play, albeit at the driving range or playing a full 18-hole course,  I do find myself enjoying the quietness and relaxation this sport provides me. 

Having only played a few "official" rounds, my handicap is limited to a mere 46.9. However, this will (hopefully) improve in the near future!

During my second year at Delft University of Technology, there was a call out for steady students able (and willing) to support a fellow student in the form of becoming a study buddy. Then, realising that I may have learned helpful techniques, I immediately reached out to sign up for the programme. After being paired up with a student, we devised a study plan, evaluated the progress and redirected course on a quarterly basis, and had bi-weekly dedicated study sessions together. 

Translation: "A Study Buddy is a fellow student who supports a student with a functional disability, chronic illness or another specific request for assistance by reducing the barriers barriers that the student encounters during their studies as much as possible. The TU Delft Study Buddy Project contributes to a good (re)start of their studies and offers students who need help an equal chance of successfully completing a course."
