I am a purpose-driven and strategic movement maker, presenter and public speaker with a hands-on approach to production. Drawing from my 8+ years of international experience in community building, storytelling, and event & content production, I thrive on connecting people and driving positive change.
With a background in communication science, international relations, yoga, mindfulness, permaculture design and regenerative leadership, my mission is to rekindle the connection between people and nature.
In 2019 I co-created the Amsterdam Doughnut Coalition, a grassroots movement consisting of more than 1000 people in Amsterdam who are actively applying the principles of the doughnut economy.
The impact of this initiative resonated globally, leading me to speak at numerous influential conferences, ranging from Berlin to Tokyo. My insights of the doughnut economy were featured in interviews with TIME Magazine and I had the privilege to deliver a TEDx talk about a regenerative future.
Finally, I founded an international community, encompassing 30+ cities worldwide, to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration in driving the adoption of the doughnut economy.
Let's connect and create a regenerative future together!
