About
I am a young, culture-curious media studies enthusiast who loves collecting books, vinyl, and knowledge, just as a penguin gathers pebbles. I have an analytic brain, a high attention to detail, and I like to work in a structured, methodical way. I have broad interests in culture, with a special focus on music and literature.
Professionally, I enjoy audio and storytelling. I completed an MA in Media Studies: Journalism at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and earned a BA in Dutch Language and Culture with a Journalism minor. I’ve written for local papers, edited association magazines, and contributed to music/media projects. My master’s thesis explored women in music journalism, reflecting my interest in culture, gender studies, and media research.
