Hi, I'm Karel de Jong, a dedicated media professional with extensive experience in producing television items, especially as a one-person crew. I've been working with Omroep Gelderland since 2009, creating engaging documentaries and training new colleagues. I enjoy capturing stories that matter, from music venues to impactful social issues like Ukrainian refugees. When I'm not behind the camera, I love indulging in my hobbies: playing piano and singing, photography, reading, and keeping fit. I'm approachable, hardworking, and always eager to learn and share new skills.
