What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my engineering skills in healthcare, fostering innovation and improving patient outcomes.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Groningen, where I have developed a solid foundation in science and technology. My academic journey began at Stedelijk Gymnasium Leeuwarden, where I focused on Science & Technology and Health. I have always been passionate about understanding complex systems and improving health outcomes through engineering solutions.

Throughout my experiences, I have honed my communication and problem-solving skills. As a babysitter and a pizza delivery courier, I learned the importance of clear interaction and customer service. My role as a McDonald's employee in a high-pressure kitchen environment taught me efficiency and teamwork, which I further developed as a field hockey trainer, where I coached young athletes and fostered their skills.

In addition to my academic and work experiences, I am actively involved in sports and community service. I have been a dedicated hockey player and have contributed to organizing events at my school. These experiences have shaped my leadership abilities and adaptability, making me a well-rounded candidate ready to take on new challenges in the biomedical engineering field.
