about me
After being graduated in Public Administration at The Hague University, I have worked with different companies in various positions. My profession as a project manager and consultant in the IT world did not satisfy. Since I have been considering to do a carrier switch, I finally, in 2012, managed to gather the courage to realize my dream: becoming a film maker!

In the previous years I wrote and directed two experimental short fiction films. I also have taken courses in Directing and Screenwriting from several famous Dutch Directors and Screenwriters.

Since February 2012 I am doing a master degree at the University Utrecht, in Film and Television Studies.

Currently I am working on my third short fiction. Also I am working, along with Janneke Pol (Anthropologist and an independent Director) on a documentary by Serious Film.

Furthermore I am working at Rinkel Film, in Amsterdam, as a Development Executive. At Rinkel I am consulting (dramaturgy and script editing) ongoing projects for future lengths. Also, I am developing along with producer, writer(s) and director(s) new future lengths from the very pitch to the final script.

remarks
I am very motivated, driven and I am also a hard worker. I don't think in problems, but in solutions. In addition to technical experience, I have a strong sense of storytelling and dramaturgy!
