Sociologist · Amsterdam
I am a sociologist currently pursuing a Research Master in Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in the Mixed Methods track. My academic foundation was laid at VU Amsterdam, where I completed a BSc in Sociology together with a minor in Forensic Criminology. I am driven by a sharp analytical focus and a passion for unraveling complex social issues through rigorous research. My work often explores the intersection of media representation, social justice, and policy, aiming to bridge the gap between academic insights and societal challenges. With experience in both qualitative and quantitative methods, I strive to contribute to a deeper understanding of how institutional and media discourses shape public perception and individual lives.

Three threads that guide my reading, fieldwork, and writing.
How media and political actors construct the lenses through which social issues are seen, debated and acted upon.
The systemic, cultural and institutional dynamics that shape gendered violence, from domestic abuse to femicide.
How responsibility for safety, care and the common good is redistributed between states, citizens and civic initiatives.
