Emma Heijmans

Emma is our legal advisor on the board, offering guidance on all things legal (and beyond). After earning her LL.M. (master of Law) in Public Interest and Social Justice Law, she has been involved in various solidarity movements around the world, from the United States to Greece, and now in Belgium.

Driven by a strong sense of empathy, Emma is passionate about defending human rights. As a sports enthusiast, she’s excited to combine her love for movement with activism through EmpowerVan. When she’s not advocating for others or breaking a sweat, you will probably find her in the kitchen cooking up something delicious (or not...) or with her nose in a book, preferably on a sunny beach in Greece.
