Born in Gilze-Rijen in 1964, I left for Florence to study Italian language at nineteen. My Italy adventure lasted one year. In Amsterdam I studied Dutch at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. I obtained my doctorate in Dutch language and literature at the Vrije Universiteit in 1992.
Work experience
Since 1993 I have been teaching Dutch. I worked for Interlect-Groep, the Vrije Universiteit and Babel, among others. I am currently affiliated with Learnlight-Communicaid and Taalthuis.
In addition to being a teacher, I am an author of fiction and non-fiction for young and adult readers.
I currently work from Arnhem.
