About me

Who I am

I am really into languages, consistency and being attentive to the smallest details; that is what makes me good at my job as a proofreader. I love reading and if it was up to me, I'd do it all day. I go home feeling satisfied at the end of the day when I know I have delivered my colleagues’ English and Dutch reports faultlessly. In addition to having my nose in books, I love to take my mountain bike for a spin or jump into a (sometimes freezing) river for a swim (hey, that rhymes, so it must be true!).

What entrepreneurship means to me

In 2020, I completed my studies in fashion and textiles with my own company; a clothing brand for women with a visual impairment. Entrepreneurship is amazing, it gives you the opportunity to be truly innovative and take control of your own career.”

Why Marktlink is the place for me

What I like about Marktlink is that it promotes entrepreneurship. When I started looking for a job after graduating, I often interviewed with companies that did not want to hire someone who was also an entrepreneur, but at Marktlink this was actually welcomed – which was a breath of fresh air. At Marktlink you get a great deal of freedom and responsibility, a combination that suits me very well. There are always options available to match your ambitions as an employee, which means your job never gets dull and there is always room for growth. And on top of all of that, I work with the best colleagues every day!
