Currently, I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Law & Governance at Tilburg University. I studied Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University and worked as a consultant for Cap Gemini from 1999 to 2002. I am currently pursuing a PhD on governance culture at Erasmus University Rotterdam. In January 2008, I moved to Tilburg University where I took on the role of research coordinator in 2014 and became the head of research from 2021 to 2025. My research focuses on the work practices employed in governance to address public challenges, with special attention to the practices of civil servants and police officers. I utilize ethnographic fieldwork and specialize in interpretive analyses and narrative frame analysis. My work has been published in renowned journals such as Public Administration Review and Organization Studies.
