Before entering the realms of my creative & coaching schooling I have completed the study 'International Business' at the Haarlem Business School and studied Genderstudies & Policy at the department of Sociology & Politicolgy at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. Studies that thought me a great deal about life and the world and that led me to follow the road of my heart: working with art & people!
