What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute at the intersection of human movement sciences, clinical care, and medical-scientific research, applying rigorous research in a clinical or movement-science context.

I'm pursuing a Selective Research Master in Human Movement Sciences at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen/UMCG after completing a cum laude bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy at the University of Antwerp.

During my clinical internship at Universitair Ziekenhuis Antwerpen, I gained experience in neurosurgery, abdominal surgery, multidisciplinary patient care, and academic hospital practice. Alongside my studies, I've competed as a professional volleyball player in Belgium, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, including for the Dutch national volleyball team.
