I believe strongly in the power of meaningful connection through dialogue. As a presenter, host, and interviewer, my role is to create a safe and welcoming environment where people feel encouraged to share their experiences and the stories that have shaped them. By fostering these spaces, I am able to facilitate constructive conversations, fruitful negotiations, and actionable outcomes.

As a former Youth Representative of the Netherlands, I have seen firsthand that young people are key drivers of change. In my current role as Coordinator of Public Dialogue Formation at the Netherlands Youth Institute, I focus on bringing forward the insights of the country’s leading knowledge institute on youth, ensuring they are effectively positioned within the public debate, and that we actively steer conversations on vital topics such as children rights and online safety.
