Educational pathway

Bachelor's Degree in Psychology has given me a strong basis for understanding human emotion and behavior that I use in training design and coaching.
I have completed the Train the Trainers and Train Advanced Trainers courses organised by the European Federation of Psychology Students' Associations, where I build and improved my knowledge, skills, and attitudes as a trainer.
I've participated in Event Wise, Choice, Practicing Coaching, and New Context training courses organised by Olde Vechte Foundation, where apart from working on my own personal development, I broadened my training horizon with new methods and activities.
