Wessel Zwakenberg

Graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Finance & Control at Windesheim UAS and excited to start a new journey: beginning a Bachelor's in Criminology in September 2025 VU Amsterdam. During the Finance & Control program, I spent a semester abroad in Finland, a time filled with snow, saunas, and valuable experiences. Outside of academics, I am passionate about traveling and capturing moments through photography. Always looking for the perfect mix of numbers, new cultures, and creativity.
