On Tuesday, June 20, we left from Schiphol to Krynica-Zdroj (Poland) to participate with the European Games 2023. I immediately qualified for this event in December 2022 by being ranked in the top 16 of Europe. I started this event ranked 11th. After a succesfull weigh-in on Thursday for the weight category -58kg, I started my match on Friday at 11:15 am against the No. 6 of Europe from Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, the opponent was too strong for me and I was out of the tournament immediately after the first game. As an athlete, you are of course very disappointed. We came and worked for more. On the other hand, I am also very proud to be here and to be able to work myself in this top of Europe. This event therefore only gives me more energy and motivation to take even more steps forward and continue the growth!
Big thanks to all the sponsors and contributors who made it possible for me to prepare for this event and participate in it.

This year, I once again had the opportunity to give an inspiring workshop to the students of VSO De Pyler. The theme of their project was "health and nutrition," and as an elite athlete, I was able to share my experiences and insights with them. In addition to the presentation, I also led two taekwondo clinics.
It was wonderful to inspire the students through sports, but the experience was even more valuable because I was able to contribute to raising awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition and sufficient exercise together form the foundation for a healthy future. What a wonderful experience to share my passion for sports and health in this way!
Thank you, Oscar Smeets, for helping to make this possible!

Yesterday, I officially received my Bachelors Degree in Laws (LL.B.). Despite having had my diploma since January, this ceremony felt like a special occasion to reflect on everything I have achieved. It was a day full of pride and joy, and I look forward to what the future will bring me!
