I studied Communication Sciences, majoring in Business Administration and Art History. I started in the arts as an organizer of the Triple X summer festival which took place in five editions throughout the Westergasfabriekterrain in Amsterdam. Worked for ten years as a faculty secretary and member of the management team at the Theaterschool Amsterdam. Then I was managing director of debate center Felix Meritis, the Bijlmer Parktheater, the Flemish Arts Centre de Brakke Grondand and now at the Stadstheater Arnhem and Musis Sacrum as a business manager.
