Postdoc Researcher at Utrecht University, Education. I hold a PhD in Educational Sciences from KU Leuven, Belgium, in which I investigated ethnic minority students' experiences of discrimination and belonging in higher education. My current research investigates belonging, racism, and representation inclusion in education.
