"I love my job as a lecturer. It's not just a side job. I teach at the University of the Arts in Utrecht at the departments Fine Art and Fashion Design. I also have experience as a workshop facilitator at the Van Gogh Museum, Community College Amstelveen and Reakt Purmerend. This unique combination of roles allows me to continuously grow and learn in my artistic journey."
"My passion for teaching and facilitating workshops stems from my desire to share knowledge and ideas with others. I believe in creating a supportive and creative environment where students can thrive and explore their potential. Through my work, I aim to inspire and empower the next generation of artists and designers, fostering a community of creativity and innovation."
