Biography

Currently working at Erasmus School of Law, I have the luxury to combine my two fields of interest, Law & Tech. Not the most obvious combination, but I'd like to describe myself as a tech geek with a law degree.

In the past years I have initiated and co-designed several practical (mobile) applications to enhance the accessibility of education with ITC and other emerging technologies. I have been involved with the creation of educational (gamified) apps, a platform for legal literature (streaming service for books), a brand new part-time law program and a virtual reality courtroom.

For all of this I have received a Techionista Tech leader award and a national SURF award for change makers in education.
