Having been infected by the music bug in my teens, I've been communicating music for fifteen years. It has brought me into the fields of media, language and cultural events, as well as sparking an interest in creating and curating music as a DJ and promoter.Next to this, I’ve been diagnosed with autism at age 11, and have spent a lot of time learning to work with my particular set of skills and challenges. In 2018 I’ve started working as a Peer Support Worker to put my experiences to good use in the service of people who’ve been dealing with similar challenges. In the past 3 years I've learned a lot about the practice of mental health care and the important of experiential expertise to help guide clients towards empowerment and self-help.
