What did Evert do?

Work experience

I have a broad background in health, research, and policy. My experience covers topics such as DEI, the relation care/welfare, volunteer work, sexuality/STIs and palliative care/bereavement. Additionally, I served as chair of a municipal advisory committee, a cultural festival, an international sports tournament, and an advocacy organization for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Education

After I finished my MSc in Human Geography, I completed targeted and practical courses for specific skills, including presenting, writing, teaching, managing knowledge-intensive organisations, and program and project management.
