From an early age, I knew that organizing was my passion. Inspired by a conversation during a vacation, I pursued my ambition and enrolled in the Allround Travel Advisor program at AVR Reisbureau Vakschool.My career began at Reisbureau Bontour and progressed at Carlson Wagonlit Travel, where I organized group and custom travel experiences. At American Express Meetings & Events, I spent 15 years managing corporate meetings and incentive travel. Later, I coordinated conferences at WYSE Travel Confederation and EAGE, arranged travel for TV productions at Schiphol Travel, and crafted group packages at Partners & SAM!, including local transport and exclusive venues.In February 2021, I joined HelmsBriscoe as an independent contractor, the market leader in venue sourcing for meetings and events.
