A little about me
From failing-student to overachieving perfectionistic doctorate, I know like no other what it means to experience stress and struggle with academic life. In 2016 I started to try out mindfulness. Later, I started to combine my scientific background with my love for mindfulness to find that balance for life.

Different levels, different languages
I started on a low education level and had to work really hard to succesfully achieve my Ph.D. My journey included having to learn how to cramp for exams differently, write theses on different levels and do it all in a non-native language. As a Dutch Ph.D. student I followed various courses in academic writing at University College London and Kings College London. One of my assets is that I can help students from different educational levels because I’ve done all of them!

International student
However, during my Ph.D., I never got the support I needed and each day was a struggle as I battled alone to work out what goes where and how to craft my thesis.
But I wasn’t alone. Many of those around me, particularly fellow international students struggled to write the necessary standard of English. That is why I started Writeway in order to help more students like me.
