My experience includes groundwater management, water resources and drought resilience, contaminated land management and environmental and climate related issues.

I enjoy working with experts from other disciplines on strategic challenges to deliver solutions that are practical and achievable.

 

I have a MSc and PhD from the VU University Amsterdam in hydrogeology and hydrochemistry. More information on my background and experience is available on my Linkedin profile.
