Fascinated by understanding and supporting people, society, the difficulties on our journey and how we can grow as individuals and tackle difficulties on the way.
The criminology course provided a thorough foundation to deepen my understanding of people and difficult situations. After an experience as a researcher, I became a Human Resources professional, understanding that people are key within organizations. With this experience I started my own business in 2011 to support people in their choice of study, job satisfaction, collaboration in organisations and teams.
