Early life and education
editHaage was born in the village of Bennekom, but grew up in Arnhem. Her father was a civil servant and her mother a school social worker. One of her grandfathers was a police officer.[1]
After graduating from the atheneum of the Thorbecke Scholengemeenschap, she moved to Utrecht to study general social science at Utrecht University in 1999, having also considered applying for a job with the police instead.[1] During her studies, Haage was a member of student association Unitas S.R. and the youth wing of the Labour Party, the Young Socialists, where she was on the national board at the time of the assassination of Pim Fortuyn in 2002.[1][2] She worked as a staffer for member of parliament Staf Depla for 2.5 years, and she completed her studies in 2006.[3]
Career
editHaage started her career as a project leader for the Utrecht police department before moving to a public safety consultancy firm in 2008. She started working as an integrated safety teacher at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht three years later.[1][3][4] Haage was elected the Utrecht Municipal Council in March 2010 as the Labour Party's third candidate. She was re-elected in March 2014, and she became her party's parliamentary leader.[5][3] She left the council and HU in June 2017 to work as an adviser for the National Police Corps.[3][6][7] She later advised the police's Rotterdam unit, and she became its sector head in 2020.[3][8]
Haage ran for the House of Representatives in November 2023 as the 26th candidate on the shared GroenLinks–PvdA list.[9] She was not elected, as the party won 25 seats.[10] On 18 December 2024, she was sworn in as member of parliament following the resignation of Senna Maatoug.[9] Haage's portfolio includes pensions, child care, and the aftermath of the childcare benefits scandal.[11]
Personal life
