Hi everyone!

My name is Lieke, and I am a biologist-in-training, an ocean lover, a nature lover, a rescue diver, and the current Chairwoman of The Seadragons!

I have been blessed with spending a large part of my childhood near the sea in Australia, where my love for the ocean began with snorkeling. Although I haven’t dived there (yet…), I have dived in some amazing places throughout the world: Southeast Asia, the Netherlands, the Caribbean, and Southern Europe!

As the Chair of The Seadragons, it is my task to make sure the board and the association function well. My tasks are to guide the board, chair the board and general member meetings, and I represent the association together with my fellow board members.

This year, I hope to be a welcoming and approachable Chair for the association and all its members or potential members-to-be. I aim to make the board work together as a team, to keep us focused on matters that are important for the association, and to help my fellow board members and I further improve our association.

If you ever have any questions or just want to chat, please know that you can always come to me!
