My ultimate dream?
Movement as (preventive) medicine for everyone throughout life.
Education
In 2017, I graduated from Don Bosco Groot-Bijgaarden with a degree in sports science. This education, along with my upbringing, laid the foundation for my sportive attitude, perseverance, and interests in science and sports.
In 2022, I graduated as a Master in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy with a special interest in active aging. In this education, I got to know the human body better and found my place in healthcare. By individually treating people, I noticed that many questions remained unanswered. Why don't we focus more on preventing various conditions, why do we do things the way we do, and can't they be done better?
In 2022, I subsequently started a Master's in Management, Care, and Policy in Gerontology. In this education, I study, among other things, the Belgian healthcare system with great admiration. I learn how we can uncover the shortcomings in healthcare through scientific research and then formulate advice and recommendations for improvement in practice.
In 2023, I completed the training to become a Physical Activity On Prescription (Bewegen Op Verwijzing) coach at the Flemish Institute for a Healthy Life. I learned to apply Motivational Interviewing. Learn everything about Physical Activity On Prescription in the section 'Physical Activity On Prescription'.
