About Me

I'm a Data Analyst with a Master's degree in Business Administration specializing in Global Logistics & Port Management from Catholic University of Leuven. Currently based in Brussels, I combine analytical expertise with maritime passion.

My professional experience includes working as a Data Analyst at MSC PSA European Terminal in Antwerp, where I analyzed operational data to optimize cargo flow, built dashboards for real-time KPI monitoring, and delivered actionable insights that directly influenced operational decisions.

Beyond the world of data, I'm a Professional Yachtmaster Offshore, having completed intensive training at the United Kingdom Sailing Academy. I've skippered sailing yachts for Navigate Travel, combining my leadership skills with my passion for the sea. The same principles that guide good data analysis—attention to detail, strategic planning, and decisive action—are essential for successful navigation.

I'm multilingual, speaking Dutch and English fluently, with strong French and basic Spanish. This linguistic versatility, combined with my analytical skills and maritime expertise, allows me to work effectively across diverse international environments.
