    Profile

    About me

    Ik ben gedragsbioloog met vooral interesse in dierenwelzijn, en specialisatie in dierentuindieren en met name mensapen. Ik werk sinds 2019 bij Odisee als lesgever, als begeleider van stages en bachelorproeven, en als sinds 2021 als onderzoeker in het PWO Project aan Odisee. 

    Naast mijn werk houd ik van wandelen in de natuur, natuurfotografie en het bakken van broden en patisserie.
