Growing up between the Netherlands and Germany has given me an international perspective from an early age. Since then, I have broadened this perspective through an academic exchange, collaboration with international students, fieldwork in several European countries, and international experiences in Southeast Asia. These experiences have strengthened my ability to work across cultures, adapt to different environments, and approach spatial and climate-related challenges from diverse local perspectives.
