People, businesses and freelancers have great ideas and offerings. But their goals often get lost in communication, or worse, never reach the intended audience.
My job is to listen to you, understand what you want to communicate and then help you do so clearly and effectively.
I will help you figure out what to say, how to say it, and where to say it, so that you reach your targets.
Digital Communications Manager turned communications consultant. As a high-level rower, I learned my first communications lessons through sport. Navigating team members and coaches, I realized that I had a knack for understanding people and helping them to understand each other.
In 2012, I moved to Montpellier, France where my skills were put to the test in a second language. There were hiccups along the way, but I loved the challenge of discovering new ways to express the same ideas.
Rowing eventually led me to a post in communications at the World Rowing Federation, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. I worked there for five years and continued to develop in communications strategy and advice.
Now living in Leiden, the Netherlands, I completed a masters in Management, Policy Analysis and Entrepreneurship in Health Sciences. I am fascinated by the intersection between health and culture. The world continues to become more interconnected and as it happens, we will be confronted with our cultural differences. I believe that good communication and cultural understanding is the only way forward.
Still an avid rower and coxswain, I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals through better communication. I am also a recreational baker, so you might get a pie or two along the way.

It dives into the Dutch way of life through immigrant stories, science, history & culture.
