What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles combining performance and production—creative, collaborative teams where I can manage events, create content, and support audience engagement.

I am a contemporary dancer and event professional trained at the University of Arts, Amsterdam, combining performance practice with hands-on event management and communications experience.

From 2022 to 2025 I worked as an Event Manager focused on communication, social media marketing and content creation, and I have held sales and support roles that strengthened my customer service and coordination abilities.

On stage I have performed in multiple contemporary works including Disambiguation, Relay Sport, Titanic, Insight and ...And Everything in Between, demonstrating adaptability across choreographic styles and collaborative projects.

I bring strong communication, event planning, project coordination and time-management skills, and I seek roles that blend creative performance with production, outreach and audience development.
