Always fascinated by nutrition, Vera completed a BSc as a Dietician before deciding she wanted to specialise in sports nutrition. Alongside starting her own company where she worked full-time as a clinical and sports dietician, she completed her IOC Diploma in Sports Nutrition before furthering her education with an MSc from the University of Stirling in Sport Nutrition. Since then, Vera has taken up a role as a part-time lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences (Fontys Hogeschool) and worked as a member of the Performance Nutrition Team within Team NL, before now joining the Nutrition group at Team DSM in 2021
Someone that loves her job and seeing those she works with develop, Vera is relishing the challenge of working in cycling and with Team DSM.
