Who am I?
‘Knowledge is power’, I often say as a prevention specialist in industrial hygiene and toxicology. At the same time, I realise that in occupational hygiene you should not over-analyse things. Keep it simple is usually the way to achieve the best results. That’s something I learnt during my internships and early work experience.
In my spare time, I like to indulge my creative side: I take photographs, draw and paint. And I also devour TV series and books.

Expertise
I feel at home in project-oriented work. I like to demonstrate a great enthusiasm for occupational safety from the outset.
It was no coincidence that the topic of my master’s thesis was occupational hygiene welfare: I developed a method for the biomonitoring of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in urine.
I am also familiar with occupational safety practices. For example, in my first job my responsibilities included machine safety and fire safety.
