She is born and raised in the southern part of the Netherlands but lives in The Hague for two years now. In her daily working life, she focuses on Red Teaming, pentesting, social engineering and advising customers about current threats.

In addition, together with the “Guild of Grumpy Old Hackers”, he is actively guiding and leading young hackers in the right direction in order to create his ultimate goal - a safe society through a safer internet.
