From one Awards to another. As a resident of Eindhoven, I have received an engraved sports medal for my sporting achievements of 2023 (Dutch Champion & Vice-European Champion OWC). We were present with 5 athletes from (region) Eindhoven to collect our sports medals.
In addition, taekwondo icon Roy Kawarmala of the taekwondo association Kawarmala (from Eindhoven) was named as "the volunteer of the year 2023". Mr. Kawarmala was the head coach of my current head coach of Taekwondo Eindhoven and received the honorary title of the 8th Dan degree in 2023. This due to his lifelong contribution to the sport of Taekwondo. This coming summer, the Kawarmala taekwondo association will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Mr. Kawarmala was the first in Eindhoven to introduce Taekwondo to the region, playing an important role in the development of Taekwondo in the region. Now, in 2024, two of the four athletes on the Olympic team who will represent the Netherlands at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament also come from the Eindhoven regional team.
The Sport Awards are always fun gatherings where you meet fellow athletes who pursue their dreams through another sport with the same passion and ambition. Personally, on the one hand, it is always a moment to reflect on what we have achieved in the past year and on the other hand, to look forward to our goals for the coming year.
In short, a successful evening!

Last weekend we traveled to Antalya to participate in the Turkish Open 2025. Unfortunately I sustained an injury which forced me to withdraw from this event due to the medical staff. Nevertheless I enjoyed the beautiful event and I am really looking forward to the next event (namely the Dutch Open!)

Today, I am proud to announce that I have officially and successfully completed my final bachelor's course by receiving a positive evaluation for my Bachelor’s Thesis.
Over the past few months, I have explored the key factors and perspectives that the judiciary most often considers when determining whether a collection of individuals qualifies as a group in cases of tort liability. My research has contributed to a deeper understanding of tort law in a group context, highlighting the challenges judges face when making definitive black-and-white decisions about group membership.
Meanwhile, I have also begun my Master’s in International Law & Public Governance, and I am excited to expand my legal knowledge in an international context!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring workshop alongside Soufiane Achnine for ASML employees, organized by Next ASML. The workshop focused entirely on taekwondo, introducing participants to the basic techniques while emphasizing the deeper vision of the sport, centered around discipline and mental focus—core values that make taekwondo so unique.
In addition, I had the honor of inspiring the employees by sharing my personal story. I offered insight into my experiences as a top athlete and the challenges and lessons that come with practicing taekwondo at the highest level.
This workshop was made possible in part by Next ASML, which supports my journey as a professional athlete. I am incredibly grateful for their contribution!
A special thanks to Dilara Cakici for her invaluable help in organizing this session.
