Normally summer is the season I love the most, but at this point I can say I’m really looking forward to winter as well! The first IBSF Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup of this season will be in Sigulda, Letland, in December! A new track for me as IBSF floor manager, so pretty excited! After Sigulda we head to Winterberg, and in January I will be at the World Cups in Altenberg, Innsbruck and St. Moritz! In February we’re heading to a place I’ve been dreaming about since I watchRead More

Excited to share the new challenge I had last summer: I was coordinating the mixed zone activities during the Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018. Three years after working in Aarhus for the Worlds Nacra17, the Olympic mixed multihull Class, I’m was back in Denmark and I loved it! I kept in touch with the people I worked with ever since and was really lucky to be able to join them for the Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018 from 31 July – 13 August.

Not a bad day at the office:-) Sometimes you get offers you can’t refuse. Like when you receive an email from the Scallywags if you want to come sailing cause you work with Bessie to fix all her media stuff, so cool! And it was way cooler than I could have ever imagined… In the first photo we’re quickly going through the media schedule before the party started, we got second in the practice race in Scheveningen. Thank you Team Sun Hun Kai Scallywag! Smiles for days!

I stayed on Palma from 19 – 23 June to provide the media team at the Superyacht Cup some extra support. It was a last minute call since I was on the island anyway and had time to jump in!

Op zoek naar een sportieve en energieke (online) communicatie professional met een frisse blik, een flexibele instelling en een hands on mentaliteit?

At the Olympics in PyeongChang I was spotter and floor manager at the Olympic Sliding Center, used for all bobsleigh, skeleton and luge events. We worked from early mornings till late at night, sometimes in -26 with strong winds! But what an experience to be part of this international team here at the venue in Korea! 

When working as floor manager for the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation I also coordinate the content for social media on site. When I manage to get the athletes in the winners box in time for the live flower ceremony for the world feed and no unexpected things occur, I’ve got time to take some photos for social media as well. On this picture, taken in Königssee, I was caught in the act by Getty Image photographer Alexander Hassenstein.

During the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics I’m worked for OBS (Olympic Broadcasting Services) as spotter/floor manager at the Olympic Sliding Center.

Arrived in St. Moritz for the penultimate World Cup bobsleigh and skeleton of this season! Nothing better than a sunny day at the office!

My last sunny stop before heading to snowy and cold work venues for the bobsleigh & skeleton World Cup season and the Winter Olympics in Korea, was in Spain! I was at the start of the Volvo Ocean Race in Alicante on 22 October onboard the Flyer, together with our guests from MAPFRE, we saw the Volvo Ocean Racers leave for the first leg from Alicante to Lisbon.    

Photos North Sea Regatta – Working at the North Sea Regatta in The Hague – Scheveningen. For the 4th year in a row I organised all media activities for the event. 

Met Hestag verzorg ik voor diverse watersportevenementen zoals Swim to Fight Cancer Haarlem en diverse zeilregattas de communicatie op locatie. Daarnaast ben ik tijdens sport evenementen in te zetten als floor manager. Heb je hulp of advies nodig bij het organiseren van de communicatie voor een zeilregatta of watersport evenement? Neem contact met me op voor de mogelijkheden of lees meer over de projecten en zeilevenementen waar ik voor mocht werken de afgelopen jaren.
