What is your mantra?

Hup hup hup
This means go-go-go. I like to get started with things and not to plan and think about things too long.

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

I am not that tech savvy. I actually use a paper calendar. My favorite tool is my brain. Next to that:

  • I use Oura - a fitness ring that tracks my health and sleep
  • Google translate (I am Dutch, so I need it bad!)
  • I am addicted to Duolingo

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

Diet Coke

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

Diet Coke, sometimes white wine

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

Relax. You can make mistakes.
