I am a teacher in Molecular Biology at the University of Applied Sciences Leiden. In 2013, I obtained a 'Promotiebeurs voor docenten' from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). My PhD research, conducted at Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Leiden University, focuses on the evolution and development of orchid flowers and fruits.
