My handy tip to everyone: change your way of living and working before you start having symptoms.

I have been interested in everything to do with health since I was young. The human body is central to this. I opted to study occupational therapy instead of physiotherapy. The reason? In occupational therapy, the emphasis is more on people and their environment.

I also enjoy healthy exercise in my spare time. I like to kick a ball around on the football pitch.

I built up experience in a residential care centre where I quickly had the opportunity to become the person they came to for matters relating to ergonomics. It also motivated me to take additional training courses.

At Mensura, I help organisations to make improvements in working ergonomically. To this end, I carry out risk analyses and visit companies on-site.
