Hailing from the picturesque Netherlands, I have built a career that blends a passion for design, hospitality, estate management, and real estate. Multilingual and multicultural, I have navigated various fields and geographies with a unique blend of expertise and enthusiasm.
Growing up in Europe, I cultivated an appreciation for diverse cultures and languages, mastering several European languages along the way. This early exposure to a rich tapestry of experiences shaped my worldview and inspired a lifelong love for travel. My extensive journeys throughout Europe have been a source of inspiration, broadening my perspectives and fueling my creative endeavors.
My academic journey led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management, laying a solid foundation for my career. With a desire to further my knowledge, I delved into the field of interior design. This transition allowed me to combine my organizational skills with my creative vision, resulting in a rewarding career path.
As a Project Manager for Lillian August, a renowned name in the interior design industry, I oversaw numerous projects, ensuring that each one was executed to perfection. My expertise and dedication earned me a decade-long tenure as a Design Center Manager for Ethan Allen, Inc., where I contributed significantly to the company's success.
In addition to my experience in the interior design industry, I have achieved considerable success in the real estate market. I bought and sold four homes, significantly increasing their value through renovations and professional interior design. This experience has further honed my skills in estate management and real estate investment.
After many fulfilling years in interior design, I transitioned to a role that allowed me to blend my professional skills with my personal passions. I moved to Cape Cod, where I spent the past five years working as a Personal Assistant for an ultra-high-net-worth couple in Boston, Martha's Vineyard (MVY), and Florida. In this role, I seamlessly blended my organizational skills, culinary talents, and dedication to providing top-notch service. I continue to work in this field today.
My life and career are a testament to my adaptability, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence. With each new chapter, I continue to embrace opportunities that allow me to grow, inspire, and make a positive impact on the lives of those around me.
