I followed my VWO at a cultural school where my focus was mainly on the arts (theatrical) drama and music (singing). With KLUP 1507 I played in several amateur productions like 'Mama Mia', 'We Will Rock You', '42nd Street' and 'Snow White'. In 2013 I participated in the program 'Pepernotentv' that was shown on regional TV channels around the Sinterklaas time. I also lived in England for some time, so I speak fluent British English in addition to Dutch.
