About
My love for cinema started when I watched Jaws at age 7. For a month I jumped into my bed because I thought the shark was hiding in my bedroom floor. Once I got over this fear, I realised how powerful cinema is and that it can influence peoples lives. I instantly knew I wanted to become part of this beautiful art form and make experiences for people.
Fast forward to the present and I moved from The Netherlands to London where I work as a freelance editor on short films and as a VFX editor on feature films and High End TV shows. My journey into becoming an editor started in different departments including camera assisting and also writing and directing a number of short films and music videos until I settled on editing as my preferred role. I love working with passionate directors who have a distinctive vision and want to tell unique stories. Having conversations with them and making their vision come to life is truly inspiring.
I still watch Jaws every year to remind myself how I fell in love with cinema and have grown to love it as one of my favourite films. I go to bed normally now knowing the shark is not under the floorboards, but I do stay away from the sea.
