Ik ben opgegroeid in Rodenrijs en woon nu alweer een aantal jaar in Bergschenhoek. Ik heb Lansingerland leren kennen als kind, tiener en nu als volwassene als een fijne gemeente, waar het prettig wonen is, alles dichtbij is en de mensen vriendelijk zijn.<br><br>Deze mooie gemeente mijn thuis mogen noemen, dat gun ik meer mensen. Om die reden ben ik al meer dan tien jaar actief voor D66 in Lansingerland, waarvan de afgelopen vier jaar als raadslid. Ik heb mij ingezet voor meer woningen, betere bereikbaarheid en een gemeente die verder kijkt dan haar eigen grenzen. Dat wil ik de komende jaren graag blijven doen. Als lijsttrekker zet ik mij, samen met het team van D66 Lansingerland, in voor een gemeente waar voor iedereen een thuis te vinden is.<br><br>In het dagelijks leven doe ik promotieonderzoek aan de Universiteit Leiden, waar ik mij als bestuurskundige verdiep in de rol van technologie voor overheden. Die kennis pas ik graag ook toe in Lansingerland!\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3646997862\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Expertises (portefeuilles)\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-expertises--portefeuilles-6195\">\n\tExpertises (portefeuilles)<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-3646997862\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3646997862\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\tAlgemeen bestuur, duurzaamheid, financi\u00ebn, circulariteit en metropoolregio\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-836959830\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Functie historie\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-functie-historie6049\">\n\tFunctie historie<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-836959830\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-836959830\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-accordion lists content-accordion__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\"><li><label>2018 &#8211;
