Behavioural change has always fascinated me. A small change in your daily routine can benefit your experience of life. By providing the right tools, people are able to make informed decisions about how they want to shape their lives. I believe every single person owns multiple lessons for others.

Living a meaningful life. To me this consists of discovering, learning and contributing. Which is why I am so fascinated with TED. I especially enjoy new ideas which challenge my existing beliefs. This may be derived from my passion for behavioural economics and the invaluable insights from Daniel Kahneman on how flawed and biased our thinking is. Areas I would like to contribute to are a sustainable future which to me entails ecological economic and social sustainability. I believe progress can be achieved through shared value initiatives and social entrepreneurship. I’m also very passionate about a progressive and diverse Europe which derives strength from its richness of cultures and is committed to humanitarian values. I believe evidence-based politics to be important factor towards building such a Europe. And obviously good food is also incredibly important to me since how could one live a good life without it?

Creating, learning, sharing, sweating, entertaining supersassy ideas -- and laughing!

New ideas and new people

I'm passionate about teaching students to be courageous and do their bit to effect a change in the society. I enjoy word games and Sudoku—activities that continuously sharpen my language, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
