Work and other things

I work as a content specialist at Organisatie en Personeel Rijk (O&P Rijk), the HR service provider for the Dutch central government. In this role, I deal with online communications for 155,000 government officials. In addition to writing and editing texts for our websites and intranet, I have a number of specific areas of interest. These include digital accessibility and data analysis.

Previously, I was Director Communications at WageIndicator Foundation. In that role, I was responsible for all websites of this global non-profit organization. WageIndicator provides information on wages, labor law and working conditions to workers in more than 200 countries.
I started at WageIndicator in 2012. I was part of its executive team between 2021 and 2024.

I have been actively involved in the local political party Student & Starter, in the city of Utrecht. During 2022-2023, I acted as its board member of Communications. Moreover, I was eligible for the 2022 municipal elections, as candidate no. 35.
