I offer academic skills training, workshops and e-courses for PhD students
Academic skills Trainer
Trainings increase the (academic) skill set of your PhD students or trainees, and their confidence, independence, and presence.
- Presentation skills
- Publication skills
- Graphic design skills
I would love to develop a course specifically for your PhDs, or to be a facilitator of an already existing course at your institute, language center or graduate school.
Academic workshops
I offer a variety of academic workshops for your PhD students, ranging from:
- How to present and pitch
- Taking the next career step
- Increasing your visibility
Academic Workshops are in English or Dutch and can be given online or on-site.

Experience as an academic skills trainer
-
I am a Freelance Academic Skills trainer for UTwente since 2020. Together with other trainers, I am giving their PhD Bootcamps on academic publishing and presentation skills several times per year.
-
I have developed a successful program for individual PhD candidates, including a Masterclass, PhD Starters Kit, an e-course on how to publish, and academic writing weeks in Spain. Typically, over 100 people sign-up for my Masterclasses. You can find more about this program HERE.
-
I developed and gave multiple courses, training programs, and workshops for different institutes, e.g. Delft University of Technology, Maastricht University, and Bursar Society.
-
I love to be on stage, whether it be to present my own research or to host a conference.
-
I am a parttime Postdoc at Isala Hospital, Zwolle, which means I am a researcher myself.
-
2015 – 2019: PhD in medical engineering from Delft University of Technology. Supervised several interns, Bachelor’s, and Master’s students. I was involved in many teaching activities during my PhD program. I got an award for best oral presentation.
