About

I am a researcher, traveler, and historian who loves uncovering and sharing stories from the past. I work as an archivist and PhD candidate, combining archival science with fieldwork, teaching, and writing.

My career spans public archives in Sluis and Bonaire, museum research in Cape Town, and international field projects, with publications on local history and Caribbean archives. I value cross-cultural collaboration, accessible history, and the careful stewardship of sources for future generations.
