I live with my dog in Deventer and I spend a lot of time between the books. I love crafts, baking and playing games. My friends and family are very important to me, as is education. I have suffered from chronic pain from rheumatism since I was twelve and from dyslexia since kindergarten. Because of these two things, I have had many obstacles in my school career. I felt a lot of pressure, especially in high school, to continue to pursue education, without too much absence. This has not always been successful.

At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with chronic pain. In the years before, I walked around without explanation with pain, depression and ignorance.

I only got the option to have my education adjusted when it was too late, in the last six months of my vocational education. I've had a modified schedule in high school for a few months because of Pfeiffer. Furthermore, I have always had to force myself to fit within the picture of standard education.

The reason I joined the advisory board is that I hope we can shout together loud enough until someone hears us and protects our youth. The children who are in education now or in the future should not work themselves to pieces in order to receive education. It could and should be better.

Within the advisory board I deal with social media and communication. I also like to be present at different types of activities.
