How it all started
I grew up in The Netherlands, where I had a very nice childhood. Even though it's a rainy country, I spent most of my time outside as a child. I started to study Health Sciences when I was 17 years old. After completing university, I worked for some years as a contract manager in health care. Within this job, I developed some important skills that I can now use in real estate, like fine-tuning my communication skills and getting experienced in diplomacy and negotiating.

Why I love my job
I love to work with people and have a passion for houses. I like the diversity within this job and the fact that no day is the same. Sometimes there are obstacles within processes -either buying or selling- and it's always my aim to help my clients in the best possible way. Furthermore, I like to use my (probably Dutch) effectiveness, I always try to be punctual and organized, with these qualities I think you can make the difference within business in Portugal. 

When I'm not working
I love to enjoy the sun, go to the beach or to a nice restaurant and to enjoy time with family or friends. I live at only 5 minutes from Fuseta beach, so I often go there to chill, have a drink, or to explore the ocean with my SUP-board. Furthermore, I like to work out and love to make long walks through the beautiful nature of Portugal.
