An Agile mindset and the courage to pivot led her to bringing Agile into the world. For 2 years, she worked at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies in Leiden, before pursuing doctoral research at Humboldt University in Berlin. Focus: the relationship between academic culture and research behaviour, especially how perfomance indicators impact motivation and research quality. Next to her PhD in Berlin, she joined a small Agile startup, guiding organisations on their transformation path to become more participative. Self-organisation won her heart, it is not only extremely interesting, but also bridges the gap between the natural and the social sciences.
In addition to her work, Julia enjoys spending time outdoors and she has her own science blog.
