Description

I'm a narrative podcast and video producer and scriptwriter. I find the humanity inside any story and build toward it. The character, the emotional turn, the moment that makes an audience lean in — whether it's a 3-minute video, or a six-part documentary series.

I work with cultural institutions, nonprofits, podcast production agencies, and independent creators. I specialize in translating complex subjects into stories that hold attention, including institutional history, science, policy, anything where the stakes are high and the material is dense.

My background spans documentary journalism, narrative podcast production, and scriptwriting for museums and mission-driven organizations. My flagship work is a four-season narrative podcast that earned an Ambie nomination for Best Scriptwriting in Nonfiction, and an Anthem Award Silver for Human & Civil Rights in Podcast/Audio.

I’m based in the Netherlands and available for remote work, worldwide.
