About me

I’m an RMA student of Philosophy at Utrecht University. My research primarily concerns the structural and medical-technological elevation of the well-being of the marginalized and vulnerable (older adults and children with diverse abilities in particular).

My RMA thesis focuses on a human capabilist defense of Life Narrativity, aiming to reconceptualize the narrative view of lifetime well-being and highlight its interpersonal and institutional significance.

“Philosophizing with the people” has always driven my enthusiasm for making practical philosophy more down-to-earth while drawing philosophical inspiration from my everyday life.

Apart from my identification as a practical philosopher, I consider myself a proud plant dad, a beneficiary of a multicultural upbringing, and on the way to becoming an extreme sports lover.
