About

I’m currently the Social Media Manager at Cushionaire Shoes, where I focus on social strategy, content ideation, influencer partnerships, and campaign execution. I lead strategy and content creation for Instagram, create and manage Pinterest advertisements, and oversee our YouTube channel. For TikTok, I collaborate closely with the team to ensure the platform remains aligned with our overall brand strategy and storytelling. I hold a Bachelor’s in Media & Information from the University of Amsterdam—ranked #1 globally for media studies—a degree that provided me with a rigorous foundation in media theory, digital culture, data practices, and the evolving media landscape. Prior to Cushionaire, I refined my skills in adjacent roles: Sales & Partnerships at Spartan (Mar–Sep 2024), where I activated influencer-driven campaigns and grew brand awareness. Marketing Internships including a summer role at The Review Machine (Jul–Sep 2023) and with Trifork in Amsterdam (Sep–Dec 2022), tackling content strategy, event coordination, and storytelling. Retail & Hospitality from Amsterdam to Singapore, where I sharpened customer understanding and brand representation in fast-paced, multicultural settings. My thesis explored how the Blinkist app reflects today’s hyper-attentive digital culture, using discourse and walkthrough methodology to connect theoretical frameworks to real-world media consumption trends. Having lived in six countries across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., I bring a global perspective and a deep curiosity about what moves people—across cultures, platforms, and identities. Outside of work, I’m deeply immersed in the world of holistic wellness. I’m a certified 200-hour yoga teacher (trained in Bali), hold a nutrition certificate, and am passionate about integrative practices like meditation, sauna culture, and mindful global cooking. This personal devotion to well-being often informs my creative lens, helping me build brand narratives rooted in balance, intention, and emotional resonance.
