Background
I have successively worked in the field of sustainability at RIVM; the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency; Ecofys, a climate and energy consultancy; and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Since 2014, I have been pursuing my work as an independent contractor.
After studying Soil Science at Wageningen University in the Netherlands (cum laude), I obtained my doctorate with a thesis entitled Time Trends and Mechanisms of Soil Acidification. During my PhD I worked 1½ years at the University of Göttingen in Germany.
