  • Profile

    I am a PhD candidate in the Governance and Inclusive Development (GID) programme group at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR). I hold MSc degrees in Global Business & Sustainability from the Erasmus University and in International Development Studies from the University of Amsterdam.

    I conduct my PhD research within the ‘Wellbeing Dashboards of Amsterdam’ project, which is led by dr. Nicky Pouw and dr. Hebe Verrest (https://www.welzijnsdashboard.nl). It aims to understand and address needs of marginalized communities in Amsterdam by co-creating and measuring new policy indicators, using a multidimensional Economic Wellbeing lens. The research takes an action-oriented and community-based participatory approach with interviews, co-creative workshops and statistical analysis as specific key methods.
