Specialist in geriatrics with a wide outlook …

Michelle studied Medicine in Utrecht and specialized in geriatric care. As a physician and researcher, her focus was on seniors with dementia and difficult behavior. Aside from assessing the medical situation, she always made sure to see the overall picture too. She did the same in the jobs that she had in addition to that, as a project and program manager, and as the assistant head of an institute of geriatric medicine. And she does that as a consultant too.

Coffee! Michelle can’t say no to that. She’s a barista, is doing research on caffeine, and is always up for a some good conversation with a good cup of coffee.

 … who creates the conditions for the best care

Michelle works with teams to build creatively on the best care. She speaks the same language as physicians and can contribute to their thought process in a meaningful way. And she understands the importance of the right conditions for the final result. This means that she carefully weights up the situation before looking to find a solution – whether we’re talking about the culture in a department, the pressure of paperwork, or technical support.
