About

I grew up in a small city in the North of the Netherlands called Groningen. There I spend my life learning what my passions were: music, people and the beauty of design and code. I worked as a freelancer frontender and a barman in several clubs and waitered in restaurants.

Then that little town became a bit too little. I was studying business school when I was offered to volunteer as a peer-to-peer empowerment trainer in Armenia. I lived in Armenia for a year, during which I became fascinated by social media. After half a year the project was I volunteered for was cancelled. I remained in Armenia working as a volunteer coordinator for the Armenian international film festival Golden Apricot for the remainder of the year.

Developing passion

When I returned to the Netherlands I picked up my studies and ventured even more into the world of social media. I had no knowledge of traditional internet marketing so I took up a traineeship at an internet marketing company called redmonkey.

To no ones surprise I took up an internship as a project manager at theFactor.e for my 3rd year mandatory internship. I was 23 by then and I began to feel comfortable talking about social media. I worked as a social media consultants for theFactor.e until I noticed that my skills were not well-developed enough to advise high-tier clients.

Spreading my wings

My interest in social media marketing soon developed in business development and personal leadership through social technologies. This was awakened by several lectures on change management, networking and marketing.

Currently I'm finishing my studies as a 4th year student with a specialisation in IT Service Management at a business development company called Budeco in Utrecht. I'm researching the effect of social media on personal leadership and motivation on employees of an organsation.
