With almost ten years of experience working in the arts, culture, and social sectors in the Netherlands and internationally, I’ve developed a broad understanding of these fields. My main interest and expertise lie in the crossovers between arts, culture, cities, and how communities evolve over time. I ask questions like: 'What do residents find important?', 'What are our shared social and cultural values?', and 'Where do we differ, and how can we learn from each other's stories?' I focus on the future, exploring new directions while considering the histories that shape our shared present. My work has included fundraising, strategic advice, concept development, and community art and heritage projects, as well as various hosting and social roles.
