I am 48 years old and I obtained my Master of Science in Business Economics at the University of Tilburg. Thereafter I worked as an external auditor within Price water house in The Hague and as an internal auditor within Holiday Inn World Wide in Brussels. Since 1994 I work as Senior Lecturer Information systems within Fontys University of applied sciences in Eindhoven, within the departments of Business Economics and Accountancy. Since 2009 I work within the Department of International Business Economics, which is part of the Fontys International Business School of Fontys University of Applied Sciences. In Venlo the International Campus of Fontys University of applied sciences is located. The International Campus of Fontys in Venlo has over 200 exchange students and about 60 primaries from all over the world. Within Fontys International Business School the Euregio is very important, where we constantly are looking for opportunities to let The Netherlands and Germany cooperate.
