Hi there, I am a transdisciplinary researcher, movement artist, and facilitator, working at the intersection of somatic practice, social ecology, and technology. A Ph.D. candidate in the Education and Learning Sciences (ELS) department at Wageningen University, my current research investigates the why, what and hows of somatic practices for sustainability education.

With a background as a dancer, choreographer, and educator, my perspective is profoundly shaped by my training in permaculture. This foundation informs my holistic worldview, reinforcing a deep belief in the interconnectedness of all living systems. At my core, I am driven by a curiosity for how we inhabit spaces as bodies, relate to our environments, and cultivate resilient, supportive communities. I believe that sustainable change is not just an intellectual pursuit, but a deeply felt, physical practice, one that requires us to slow down, listen to our surroundings, and move through the world with intention, reciprocity, and care.
 
As an instigator of collaborative platforms, I co-founded the NaNa School of Somatic Movement and Contemporary Dance, establishing a diploma-granting infrastructure from the ground up. Now based in Amsterdam, I am activly translating my entrepernuership skills to build ongoing collective inquiries as a core member of The Enactive Research Group, a research affiliate at Wageningen University's PSSELab, and an active participant within the Amsterdam Contact Improvisation community.
