About me

Hi there, I'm Nik Verweel, a second-year student of the MSc Geo-information Science at Wageningen University and Research. I graduated cum laude with my BSc International Land and Water Management and am passionate about exploring the possibilities of combining these two fields, integrating land and water management principles with methods learnt during my MSc programme.


With a range of work and extra-curricular experience, I consider myself a well-rounded individual. Key personal strengths include efficient and clear communication skills, effective time management, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. I am knowledge-driven, always seeking to learn new things and continuously developing my skills. New challenges are always welcome!
