Since August 2016 I work at World Trade Center Leeuwarden. I graduated from NHL University of Applied Sciences with a degree in European Studies. Via the Export Carousel WTC Leeuwarden is organizing together with NHL, I came in contact with various international companies in the Northern Netherlands. During that program I worked together with other students on an export plan for an entrepreneur from the region. In addition to this experience, I completed my internship at Eaton Corporation and a I studied a semester abroad in Istanbul. It is now my challenge to support the team of WTC Leeuwarden. My main tasks are conducting partner searches, organizing trade missions, and member engagement.
