At 19, I adopted a vegetarian lifestyle due to ethical and environmental concerns surrounding animal agriculture. This led me to become more involved in animal rights activism.

At 22, I began collecting autographs and promoting plant-based diets. However, it wasn't until I turned 32 that I fully committed to veganism, sparking a strong desire to make a impact on animal lives. I founded 269life The Netherlands, an organization focused on animal liberation. Through nightly investigations, we exposed animal exploitation and rescued many animals from slaughter.

I have created a special "Animal Rights" CV to highlight my past in activism and animal rights issues.
