Welcome to my personal website. I am a PhD candidate at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, where I am supervised by Pursey Heugens and Richard Haans.
My research focuses on (1) how social movements navigate the rise of illiberalism and (2) how illiberalism affects firms, managers, and management theories.
I hold a Research Master's in Social Sciences and a Bachelor's in Sociology from the University of Amsterdam (UvA).
In the fall semester of the 2026–2027 academic year, I am visiting the University of Alberta's Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Management (SEM) department.
