My name is Anna Lysenko and I am Director of the Amsterdam Office.
I followed my husband when he was transferred to the Netherlands and have been living in Amsterdam since 2003.
I have been a volunteer in ACCESS for nearly 4 years and have also taken part in numerous international development assistance projects. I hope to bring to ACCESS the experience I have gained by working in multinational and multicultural teams in both my previous job and my time volunteering for ACCESS. I look forward to welcoming you in our Amsterdam office!
