Dogs, design & destinations... 

...Three things I am passionate about and love to combine. Travelling across the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK, I work with dogs, providing them a caring home while their owners are away. This lifestyle perfectly complements my work in coaching professionals, as well as designing and writing websites.

My values

I’ve seen big multinationals wrestle with defining their values—especially what they truly mean in the everyday hustle. Over the years, I’ve collected my own. They’re action-oriented, simple, and straight to the point. Values that work just as well in boardrooms as they do in life.

Turning local ideas into global conversations

England and I go way back. With a Bachelor of English, a career crafting campaigns at a British-rooted marketing agency in Belgium, and countless dog walks in the Kent countryside, the language and culture are woven into my story.

As a Dutch native, I know the struggle of searching for the perfect word, hesitating to speak up, or feeling like you’re not quite hitting the mark. I’ve been on the other side too, fumbling through French meetings (zut alors!). That’s why I’m passionate about helping others overcome these hurdles.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with multinationals like John Deere, NXP Semiconductors, Danfoss, and Syngenta—helping teams deliver messages that resonate. I’ve seen firsthand how mastering English can open doors, strengthen connections, and build confidence.

I offer one-to-one coaching focused on real-world practice. Whether you’ve got a big presentation, an important meeting, or just want to feel more confident in daily conversations, we’ll work together to build your skills and ease your nerves.

With a background in marketing communications and certification as a sports instructor, I bring a mix of strategy, creativity, and coaching to the table. My sessions are supportive and practical, designed to help you find your English voice and use it authentically.

Let’s make learning enjoyable and impactful. Together, we’ll practise, role-play, and refine until you’re ready to shine. If you’ve got a specific event coming up, let’s make sure you’re fully prepared. Book a call today, and let’s get started!
