What I do

  • Screenwriter

    I'm passionate about the art of screenwriting, and I believe it holds the power to shape our perceptions of the characters we see on screen. In my work, I try to create high-quality fiction. My aim is to craft compelling narratives that captivate and resonate with audiences.

    I'm currently writing a television series and a film.

  • Writer

    Over time, my writing journey has led me to explore a myriad of themes, such as migration, identity, and the performing arts. Lately, I've been leaning into a more reflective and personal style, embracing the world of longreads and essays.

  • Public speaker

    Now that I'm fully dedicated to my writing, I've stepped away from taking on presenting gigs. However, I'm always open to participating in panel discussions that revolve around topics that resonate with me. These subjects include various aspects of writing, whether it's for film, television, essays, or longreads, as well as the art of storytelling in all its diverse forms.

    I speak Dutch and English.

  • Podcast producer

    This Is What I Read is a podcast that delves into the world of books from a decolonial and intersectional lens. I have conversations with artists, writers, activists, and performers who share insights on the books that have profoundly influenced their lives. We explore the driving forces behind their own creative endeavors.

    Episodes are mostly in Dutch, sometimes in English.
