About Me
I am a quick learner, a hard worker and a creative thinker with an eye for detail. I developed strong interpersonal skills at Vanilia, Louis Vuitton and Van Lanschot that help me establish good relationships and deliver the best customer experience. I advanced my analytical skills at Meltwater by conducting needs analyses, market research, and big data analyses. I am not afraid to take initiative when I see opportunities to help out colleagues and the organization. I use my positive mindset to drive team spirit and performance. I enjoy working in a dynamic team and I look forward to meeting you at the CEMS career forum.
