How did your story at Knauf Insulation begin?

After being a designer in Interior and Bathrooms I started at Knauf Insulation first in the production office, later sales wood wool and then I got the opportunity to start working in a Technical Insulation division.

What is your favourite sport?

My favourite sport is boxing and I also love cardio and long walks with my dog.  

What did a Covid19 lockdown bring for you?

During the COVID lockdown I really missed the people and their hugs, spontaneous visits and shopping. I loved the evenings with my family and that my kids were at home.

Who is your hero?

Boyan Slat, founder of The Ocean Cleanup and of course my family; husband Fred, son Pepijn and daughter Tara.

What would you do if never started a career in insulation?

I am good with dogs, so it's a chance I would become a dog whisperer.
