People & organisation
HR, finance operations, and administration — the operational backbone behind client-facing delivery.
I co-founded Lewafa BV and steer HR, finance operations, and company administration — grounded in years of front-line social work and structured coaching.
My background spans municipal social services, CAW support work, and specialist training in solution-focused coaching and debt mediation. That mix shapes how Lewafa runs internally and how we engage clients and partners with clarity and care.
