At Co-create with.me, we see research as more than just a project. It’s a collaborative journey that shapes both your work and your growth as a researcher. Based in the Netherlands and working fully online,I’ll guide you through setting up your research, carrying it out, and presenting your findings. But just as importantly, we’ll focus on you: on who you are and who you’re becoming in the process. That means working through challenges as they come, whether they’re academic, professional, or personal. Beyond building skills, this might include navigating uncertainty, building confidence, or managing anxiety.
Qualitative & mixed methods
Co-create with.me specializes in research projects that use qualitative or mixed methods approaches. I have extensive experience in the design, execution, analysis, and reporting of this type of research. My background in the natural sciences gives me an added advantage: I can relate to and support those who are new to qualitative research, particularly those coming from more traditionally quantitative disciplines.
Transdisciplinary expertise
In addition to qualitative and mixed methods expertise, Co-create with.me specializes in transdisciplinary research, which integrates knowledge across academic fields and beyond, including non-academic partners. such as public and professional stakeholders. This approach helps generate insights that are not only academically robust, but also socially relevant and grounded in real-world contexts.
Working across disciplines
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with individuals from a wide range of educational backgrounds, including science in society, management, policy analysis and entrepreneurship in the health and life sciences, science communication, biomedical sciences, health sciences, neurobiology and psychology, biomedical technology, innovation studies, and ecology.
Trauma-informed Guidance
Co-create with.me is committed to providing support that is trauma-informed. No worries, this doesn’t mean offering therapy, but rather working with an awareness that many students and researchers carry experiences that shape how they feel, learn, and connect. I aim to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative, where trust and transparency are central, and where your voice and choices matter. By paying attention to power dynamics and by setting clear and consistent boundaries, I support you in developing confidence and autonomy as a researcher. This way, the process of research becomes not just about producing results, but about growing in ways that feel sustainable and respectful of your whole self.
