About me
I was born in Turnhout (Antwerp), Belgium, on 5 October 1989.
I started off my career as a science journalist at the Dutch Public Broadcast organisation.
During the COVID19 pandemic, I was a scientific communicator and scientific collaborator for the Belgian Government and the Belgian national public health institute called Sciensano.
My current main activities deal with writing as a consultant for the Interoperability and Digital Government Unit at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Digital Services (DG DIGIT).
I love to think and explore new things. So, next to reading and writing, my main hobbies consist of playing chess, listening to music, talk radio, podcasts and lectures, watching films and documentaries, walking in nature, and occasionally playing basketball. Due to time constraints, I generally avoid fictional tv series, except for Doctor Who and (now and then) some mini-series.
All kinds of scientific disciplines interest me. In addition, I have a broad and profound knowledge of the cultural history of Europe.
