about me
I've been writing screenplays for 6+ years. Started as an autodidact with a background in Marketing & Copywriting and Film Studies & Visual Culture, my strength lies in capturing unique human stories that many audiences can relate to, and writing compelling in-depth characters, storylines and dialogues.

With a love for and deep understanding of the genres sci-fi and horror, I consider myself a genre-writer, but I'm always branching out and exploring new fields as a write. I'm currently working on two projects in the genre drama/feelgood and a comedy-series based on real-life experiences as well.

As a born storyteller, I love to tell human stories and show human emotions. No matter what the genre is, I write stories that have a deeper meaning and that will have a social/societal impact. In my eyes, films are the ideal vessel to inspire change!

Ik schrijf voornamelijk in het Engels maar Nederlands is mijn moedertaal.
Naast het schrijven van scenarios werk ik als (online) redacteur bij een lifestyle magazine, freelance schrijver en barista.

remarks
I have a quick pen, a rich imagination and great empathy. I can easily translate an idea into a screenplay with a good 3-Act structure and a lot of attention to character development.
