Journey

Hi, I'm Tessa, a Dutch national, mother of 2 kids and have been living abroad since 2012. First in Silicon Valley, California and now in Switzerland since 2019. 

 

Sports have always been my passion, which evolved into playing for the national rugby team. For 10 years I had the amazing opportunity to experience professional training and teambuilding, focused on playing in several World cups and World Sevens Series.  

 

At the same time I started working in the area of sports & international development, believing strongly in the power of sport for social change. Throughout my career I have been passionate about empowering people and building capacities of young athletes, professionals and organizations. 

 

Nowadays, besides staying fit with bootcamp, boxing and spending time outdoors, I love working on various design and art projects, and baking my favourite banana bread!

 

I'm looking forward to inspiring a new generation to enjoy sports and feeling strong and fit.
