With a background in the Creative Industries and a Master's in Coaching, I bring a unique mix of Analytical and Creative Thinking to Career Development. I am currently deepening my practice through an EMCC Accredited Transformational Coaching programme, focusing on how people grow, adapt, and find their direction.
I've navigated career transitions myself, across countries, industries, and identities. That experience is the foundation of everything I do at Thryve.
I work with graduates, juniors and mid-level professionals ready to move forward, especially those stepping into the Dutch job market or redefining their next chapter. Through CV Reviews, LinkedIn Positioning, Personal Branding and a tailored Job Search Strategy, I help you understand how the Dutch market works, where you fit in it, and exactly what to do next. Because not everyone needs the same level of support, Thryve offers options at every budget, from guided sessions to practical Tools and Resources you can use on your own.
Alongside Coaching and Career Guidance, I occasionally collaborate on Talent Sourcing projects, which keeps my work closely connected to the hiring market.
Thryve isn't just about getting noticed. It's about giving you the clarity, direction and tools to move forward with confidence, for your skills, your journey, and your potential.
"I blend Strategy, Creativity and Empathy — as an expat with first-hand Dutch market experience, I give you the clarity and tools to move forward with confidence."
