From an early age, my father let us watch film classics, we regularly visited other parks like Disneyland, and I felt that my neighbor lacked general knowledge, so I decided to give her some theme park lessons.
At the age of ten, my parents gave me my first camera. This was the beginning of my first own business: “De Filmpjesclub” (The Little Movie Club). The recipe for success: my sister in front of the camera, me behind the camera. Soon, our birthday parties turned into film projects where I had the directing, script, makeup, camera, video editing, and marketing in my hands.
When my mother told me at the age of fourteen that there was a study where I could learn about managing theme parks, I immediately enrolled and didn’t feel the need to visit any other universities. I was immediately in love with Breda University of Applied Sciences and could already see myself studying there. Not only did I complete my bachelor’s degree there, I also obtained my master’s degree in 2022.
