Hi, I’m Mieke — scientist, educator, and parent of three.
After years of navigating academia across countries while raising a family and adapting to new systems, I’ve learned that I need to build a career that supports my life — not consumes it.
This site is where I explore how to do that. By sharing what I learn along the way, I hope to help others in a similar situation.
