About me

After around 20 months of contracted and freelance work, I am eager to move to a more permanent position. As a native Dutch speaker with a strong interest in English language, literature, and culture, I completed a BA in English Language and Literature at the University of Amsterdam (and one Erasmus year at Edinburgh University). In September 2011, I completed my MA Publishing (first) at London College of Communication. Currently I am searching for a position that offers opportunities for professional development and career progression.
