I work for the Dutch Cyclists’ Union (Fietsersbond), the national organisation for safe and inclusive cycling in the Netherlands. I focus on projects that make cycling possible for everyone. This includes people with disabilities and people with a low income. I work together with our members, volunteers, cities, and international partners to create places where everyone can cycle with comfort and joy. I have been racing bikes since I was seven years old. Cycling has always been a big part of my life. In 2025, I competed at the UCI Gravel World Championships.
