About me

Creating and presenting

When I was a child and with my vivid fantasy and colourful imagination, I invented and performed theatre-acts and tiny plays. I also played harp, sang in a choir and enjoyed doing athletics. As a child and in my teen years I often attended youth theatre productions with my father who was an actor and theatre director. I couldn’t sit still, needed to express myself. Creating and storytelling gave me a sense of belonging and felt very natural to me. My mother, who was a psychotherapist, taught me to listen very carefully and ask expedient questions. I wanted to comprehend the world and was always looking for new stories. That’s why I invited my classmates to my house so that I could interview them and tape their stories onto my tape recorder.

My big dream was to become an actress. I was dedicated to follow my dreams and as a result I was admitted to the professional Theatre and music academy in Amsterdam. In the meantime, I worked in the catering industry, played minor roles in tv series and started my voice-over work. Subsequently, I travelled the entire country as an actress, singer and comedian. However, my fate brought me somewhere else.
