Generally speaking, I have always been eager to meet new people, especially if they were from different walks of life than me. A deep conversation with somebody whose life experiences were very different from mine, has always felt inspiring and educational to me. Besides my professional education, I would consider those conversations my greatest resource.

My Education

2016 - 2019
Psychology at the Erasmusuniversity Rotterdam (B.Sc.), Specialization Brain & Cognition

2017-2019
Philosophy at the Erasmusuniversity Rotterdam (B.A.)

2019-2021
Psychology at the University of Basel (M.Sc.), Specialization Personality and Developmental Psychology

Throughout of my professional education, I learned how to research a given subject by getting an overview of the scientific literature and how to develop my understanding of our psyche based on the available data. In my master’s studies, I was also able to actively take part in a clinical study, in which the therapeutic effects of LSD were investigated. For my master’s thesis, I interviewed users of social VR platforms, to find out what kinds of social needs were being fulfilled in these digital spaces. Next to my psychology studies I also studied Philosophy, mainly, because I quite enjoyed exploring the different styles of thinking.
