Since 2008/2009 I have gained a lot of experience in the events industry and my study communication management came in very handy. By working alongside my studies in this industry, I have learned to apply my theoretical knowledge well in daily situations related to festivals and events (profit and non-profit). All aspects of organizing a festival are covered. Organization, management, drawing up quotations, budget monitoring, etc. (project management). When organizing an event I am always aware of the wishes of the customer and aware of what this organization wants (I listen). I apply this to an event if desired. I convince the customer to choose me/us to organize their event and make sure that I perform above expectations (customer-oriented).

I have a lot of experience in the field of Marketing, Communication and PR. Organizing, leading and managing & working with groups / people is also in my system. Working in a team is one of my qualities, working together is very important to achieve the right result and to satisfy the customers in this way. By working at Flexiforce Barneveld, in the accounts payable and accounts receivable department, I also gained administrative experience. I have worked with Baan and Microsoft Dynamics.
My all-round activities at a glance:
- Managing and maintaining contact with staff/volunteers/designers/rental companies/customers (relationship maintenance/HR/service oriented/strong in communication)
- Managing trainees/volunteers (management/HR)
- Keep social media up to date (facebook, twitter, instagram etc.)
- Maintaining the websites and updating them with articles (Content Management System)
- Writing press releases/articles
- Designing flyers/posters and other promotional material using photoshop (digital design)
- Distribution of promotional material (channelling)
- Brainstorming for the customer (creative thinking)
- Writing concepts based on brainstorming (taking the initiative), selling to the customer (sales, persuasiveness)
- Organization of printing
- Project monitoring (perfectionist, accurate work, responsibility)
- Budget preparation and budget monitoring (administrative)
- Administration, worked with program BAAN, and Microsoft Dynamics (administrative)
- Write accountability reports to the NCDO for the subsidy for the Globallogical Foundation
- Drafting call sheets, scenarios and briefings (management)
- Prepare planning and monitor planning (accurate)
- Ensuring deadlines are met (stress resistant)
- Create task allocations for the team and ensure that each team member fulfills his tasks before the deadline

I manage the above qualities myself, I take this initiative, I make sure that the most important things happen first (setting priorities). I like to work with any targets or deadlines, this ensures that I work productively and accurately (stress resistant and can determine priorities well). If problems arise with regard to a customer, I can trace the causes, distinguish problems and help to find a solution (analytical thinking ability). I am very focused on customer satisfaction, if the customer is satisfied I am also satisfied (customer-oriented).
