Born and raised in rural Kansas with immigrant parents from the Netherlands has ensured an upbringing unlike any other. It has created an open-minded, ambitious, independent and determined woman. I have been privileged to see many parts of the world because family has always been far away - that is what sparked my love for foreign adventures. This resulted in an International Business and Economics bachelors, an MBA from Lima, Peru and an MS from Linz, Austria. I am currently working in the Netherlands as a finance professional for Finanxe.
