Who am I?

Do what you like and love what you do, no matter how old you are... That’s something I find myself saying these days more than ever.

I began my long career as a nurse with the White & Yellow Cross in homecare. After a whole range of experiences working with paramedical companies, in 2005 I moved to Adhesia – which merged with Mensura in 2014 – as First Aid trainer for both Dutch-language and French-language groups.

Oh, and did I say that I love travelling? Not to mention gardening, cooking, art and culture, flea markets – and I also like working with my hands.

Every day is a blank page... One that you need to fill!"

Expertise

My passion for teaching has prompted me to take part in humanitarian across in various months in India, Peru and Senegal. It has also taught me to become acquainted with different approaches, including for First Aid.


Experience

At Mensura, I present training courses in various subjects: First Aid, HACCP, and prevention adviser level 3. I also provide medical guidance to expats. You can follow workshops and lifestyle screening vitality with me, including about how you use a multiscan to take action and arrive at solutions.

In the area of HACCP, I am developing a pilot project for the care sector, linked to blended learning. I also conduct expat consultations.


Degrees

I am a hospital nurse by training and have a qualification in tropical medicine. I have also completed a course in paediatric care and have a bachelor’s degree in midwifery. In terms of First Aid, I have attended courses with the Flemish Cross and the Red Cross and as an instructor in the Netherlands. 


Courses

Training people comes naturally to me. At Mensura Learn&Connect, follow ‘Resuscitation and using an AED’ (automatic external defibrillator)’, ‘Basic training prevention adviser level 3’ or ‘HACCP’.
