Tell us a little bit about yourself

I am raised in five different Asian countries. Since 10 years I am resident in the Netherlands. After finishing International Baccalaureate in Hilversum, I recieved the Bacholar of Science degree (Science major and Psychology minor) at the University College Utrecht and later my medical doctor degree from Utrecht University. Since 2007 I am functioning as PhD candidate at the department of Nephrology and Hypertension at the University Medical Center Utrecht.

Why did you decide to join Rotary?

I joined Rotary with the goal of serving the community. Very soon I realised that my Rotary club meant much more than just community services.The energized and dynamic members, the humanitarian and fun projects, enlightening and intellectual lectures and the receptive atmosphere in the club were beyond my expectations. I attend and enjoy every single meeting and event of our club.

Are you active in any committees?

I am member of the community and the vocational services committees. In last two years we have had numerous successful national and international projects. I am also boardmember.
