    I am originally from London, UK where I studied Law for my Bachelor’s. I am interested in a broad range of Global Health topics, from non-communicable diseases and social determinants of health to infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness. What I enjoy most about studying Global Health is the diversity and depth of the topics, which continually engage and inspire me.

    I’m from the Netherlands and completed my bachelor’s degree at University College Utrecht, where I majored in Molecular Cell Biology and Physiology. My interests in global health focus on access to medicines, infectious diseases, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
