Evelien is a lawyer with both a legal and technical background. She obtained a bachelor's degree in Food Technology from Wageningen University & Research as well as a bachelor's degree in Law from Utrecht University. She then pursued a master's degree in Intellectual Property Law, Innovation, and Technology at Utrecht University, and a master's degree in Food Safety, specializing in Food Law and Regulatory Affairs, at Wageningen University & Research.

During her master's in Food Safety, Evelien completed a student internship at Hoogenraad & Haak, where she has been working ever since. She has a particular interest in intellectual property law, food law, advertising law, and contract law.
