After finishing my secondary school education in Eindhoven and a journey to South America, in 1987 I went to study Russian at the Slavonic Languages Department of the University of Amsterdam. After passing the preliminary examinations in Russian, I continued my studies at the Institute for Eastern European Studies at the same University. After two years in Greece, where I conducted the necessary research, I graduated in 1994 on the subject The Position of the Greek Minority in the Former Soviet Union.
During my study I participated in several decision-making bodies of the University, both on a faculty - as on a central level. On various occasions I took part in International student meetings on Internationalization and Student mobility.
Since March 1996 I work at the Netherlands Institute at Athens.
