I grew up in Eindhoven and have been living with my partner and 3 children in Geldrop for almost 30 years now. I started at the TU/e as a management assistant last November 4, succeeding Martina Jiricka. Until six months ago I also worked for TU/e for the Finance & Control department, Project control, but working with numbers does not suit me. Before that I worked in the hospital for 23 years in various roles. Working for the groups is very varied, I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and still have plenty to learn. My job is to support the groups, with such varied issues as administrative procedures, quarterly reports, storage of research data, finding a dentist, the MST retreat etc.
