MY AMBITION is to instruct, challenge and inspire students and professionals. To enhance their skills and expand their horizon, in a collective learning environment.WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL, I fell in love with the world of learning and teaching. To me, the classroom was a magical place. My teachers provided a nurturing environment in which I always felt at home. I went on to study English Language and Literature, a lifelong love of mine. The degree came with a wonderful bonus: a teacher’s certificate. IN MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE, I am a lecturer at the International Business Management School, Hogeschool Utrecht. I combine this job with a career as a professional trainer/coach at Schouten & Nelissen. One job informs the other and inspiration flows both ways.
