Journalist

With years of experience at NOS, my journalistic foundation is rock solid. I know how to dive deep into a topic, build a compelling story, and steer a conversation or interview in unexpected directions.

reporter

I’ve covered a lot about technology and innovation. Whether as a presenter and reporter at NOS op 3 or for Bright at RTL, placing developments in the right context is crucial.

feature stories

As an experienced interviewer for podcasts and talk shows, I use journalistic techniques to keep conversations balanced and full of surprises. I also regularly write feature stories. For example, this piece on innovative materials in the fashion industry for RetailTrends.

complex topics

I love diving deep into a story, especially when it involves making complex topics accessible to a wide audience.
