I was born and raised in beautiful British Columbia in the city of
Vancouver. I was brought up there by two Dutch parents who tried to
teach me Dutch from a young age, however it never really stuck until I
moved here.
According, to my two passports I am of dual nationality, but most of you who meet me will come to the same conclusion that I do myself, and that is that I am forever CANADIAN.
Growing up in Vancouver means that I love winter sports, water sports, watered down beer, bears, and maple syrup. Vancouver will forever be my first home, but Holland has treated me well since I have moved here.
In my life I am very used to moving around, seeing as I moved 8 times in high school and also switched schools 3 times. This has made me a very open person who loved to make new friends.
After graduating from High school I decided to go with the flow and apply to the University of Victoria. There I spend two years, that I do not in any way regret, learning that I hate economics. Halfway through my second year I realized I do not want to be an Economist or anything like that. It was then that I looked into Hotel School in Holland. I applied to Maastricht and The Hague and was accepted by both. I went to check out both cities and was instantly sold on The Hague because it had a beach and of course sushi restaurants.
I started in August 2008 in the glorious place we call Skotel and met a lot of amazing people I am proud to still be friends with today. I managed to get through Skotel and go on my internship to San Sebastian, Spain.
Since my first semester I have been close with several of the previous board members and instantly learnt that the SQ board is most definitely for me. I applied to be Chairman, because I believe I am good leader, and want to make the supporters of SQ happy.
I can always been seen in school walking around with either a stressed or happy look on my face, but no matter my mood never hesitate to come up and talk to me.
