What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth and allows me to contribute to meaningful projects.

My name is Adriaan Quak, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Utrecht University, specializing in Urban Planning. With a strong academic record, including an average grade of 7.56 and recognition as an honours student, I have developed a keen interest in social network analysis and content analysis, which I applied in my thesis project.

Throughout my work experience, I have honed my skills in high-pressure environments, from my role as a Garde Chef at Bij brasserie Sailor’s Inn to my recent position as a Customer Service Representative for the Dutch Lottery. My ability to assist clients with patience and friendliness has been a hallmark of my professional journey. Additionally, I have taken on leadership responsibilities as a Peer Coach for students at my university, where I facilitated discussions and supported my peers in their academic endeavors.
