Bio
I write, edit and translate for news outlets, companies, NGOs and government bodies. The subjects range from travel, food, business and entrepreneurship to the environment, energy, science and health. I usually write in Dutch, but sometimes also in English, and my work has been published on websites, in business magazines, books, brochures and travel guides.

My experience as a journalist has taught me to conduct thorough research and to find the right sources. I not only make sure the story is clear and written for the right audience, but also that it is interesting to read, from beginning to end.​

I studied Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies (Master's and Bachelor's degrees from Radboud University Nijmegen) and journalism (I hold a post-Master from Erasmus University Rotterdam). I also hold a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE).

Before starting my career as a freelance reporter, copywriter and content marketing writer, I worked as a travel author for Dutch publisher ANWB Media and as a writer and editor specialising in academic research at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I've also worked at the Dutch embassy in Kuwait and the Iraqi embassy in The Hague.

Ik schrijf, redigeer en vertaal teksten voor media, bedrijven, organisaties en overheidsinstanties. De onderwerpen, variëren van het Midden-Oosten en de Arabische wereld (ik ben arabist en heb in verschillende Arabische landen gewoond), reizen, ondernemerschap, eten en drinken tot milieu, wetenschap en gezondheid.

De teksten verschijnen onder andere op websites, in reisgidsen, brochures, bedrijfsbladen en boeken. Door mijn ervaring als journalist weet ik hoe ik goed onderzoek moet doen en kan ik de juiste bronnen vinden. Ik zorg ervoor dat het verhaal niet alleen duidelijk is en voor de juiste doelgroep geschreven, maar dat het van begin tot einde boeit.

Ik heb de master en bachelor Arabische taal en cultuur aan de Radboud University Nijmegen gedaan en de Post-Doctorale Dagblad Opleiding (PDOJ) aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam gevolgd. Ook heb ik het Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) behaald.

Voor mijn huidige werk als freelance journalist en tekstschrijver/ copywriter heb ik gewerkt als auteur van reisgidsen bij ANWB Media en als wetenschapsredacteur bij de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Ook heb ik op de Nederlandse ambassade in Koeweit en de Iraakse ambassade in Den Haag gewerkt.
