My background lies in the Netherlands, where I achieved a degree in Political Science in Utrecht before completing an MSc in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics. I am fluent in German thanks to my German mother, but am also fluent in Dutch having lived in Eindhoven and Utrecht for 10 years.

I am a Research Journalist currently working in the Personal Finance team at Which?, a consumer publication with a readership of 600,000 for whom I conduct research and write both news and articles for online and magazine publication, as well as compiling the Which? Money news pages acting as daily online news editor. I have also worked in the conference unit of Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, I moved into journalism and research in when I joined Which? four years ago.
