Right after my study Communications in Eindhoven I found my first job at an advertising / communications agency as a project coordinator. I was involved (as advisor and executive) in the development of various marketing projects, from events to product catalogs. Until a new challenge called “website reviews” came by. As online already had the upper hand, I was excited to broaden and deepen my knowledge; that’s when I joined the SEO team of Yoast.
Besides reviewing websites, I also participated in organizing some nice events like YoastCon and I became responsible for sponsoring. As Yoast was growing, the management team needed a Management Assistant. That’s when I decided to pick up this new challenge. As a Management Assistant, I loved to get in touch with our customers and other parties.
I like to take good care of things and I’m commercial as well, so the next step wasn’t that strange at all. Nowadays, I’m Sales Manager at Yoast and, among other things, responsible for customer engagement. I’m eager to find out more about our customers to serve them even better. And I enjoy creating new opportunities to work with agencies and other partners.
I’m blessed with a great husband, Bart, and two beautiful girls, Bibi and Luse. Besides at a table with friends, nice food and drinks, you can also find me on a hockey field, shopping (online and offline) or volunteering.
