I believe in the transformative power of genuine human connection. In a world that often prioritises speed over depth, I help individuals and organisations create clarity, build trust, and spark meaningful, lasting change.
That’s the foundation of my work. As a coach, facilitator, and learning designer, I help individuals, teams, and organisations speak, lead, and collaborate with purpose. I design and deliver communication and leadership experiences that don’t just inform; they transform.
My approach is practical and people-centred. I’ve seen how even the smallest changes, when grounded in reflection and supported by intentional design, can spark real transformation. Whether it’s a shift in mindset, a new habit, or a more confident message, these moments add up, creating ripple effects for individuals, teams, and organisations.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with global organisations like Mastercard, Meta, Siemens, TikTok, and UNICEF to build learning journeys that scale with impact. Whether it’s a custom programme for emerging leaders, an executive coaching engagement, or a C-suite communication workshop, I bring energy, empathy, and structure to every step — from design to delivery.
At LifeHikes (Own The Room), I led the design of key programmes including Communication Essentials for Women, Communicate with Slides, Coach & Connect for Managers, C-Suite Conversations, and Managing Up — all built to tackle real communication and leadership challenges with practical, lasting impact.
I hold a Master’s in History from the University of Leiden, a field that deepened my fascination with storytelling, connection, and change. Starting at the largest bookstore in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, my career soon expanded into Learning and Development — from instructional design and executive coaching to global facilitation across Europe and beyond.
In my free time, you can find me boxing in Holland Park, enjoying a breakfast and a newspaper at my favourite local cafe, or listening to one of the many LPs in my cherished record collection. I’m a proud resident of London, and I consider my move to London over fifteen years ago to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.
“Empowering lasting value through human connection, clarity, and intentional change.”
