International Sailing Regatta’s
Since I started freelancing in 2012 I have been working for countless international sailing regatta’s and international sports events. I’m going to highlight a few of them to give you an idea of what I do and what I can offer you too. In 2013 and 2014 I was traveling the world as press officer for the Dutch Olympic sailing team, writing press releases, supporting the team and organising their media and PR. During The Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18 I supported Dutch ocean racer Annemieke Bes planning and organising her PR activities.
PR Manager and Media Operations
At the World Championships Sailing 2018 in Aarhus, Denmark, I worked as mixed zone manager and at the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 I worked at the sailing venue as broadcast venue support crew.
In 2023 I was asked to support Team JAJO in The Ocean Race as interim PR and communications manager for the first six weeks of the race. In June I worked as media operations manager at The Ocean Race Stopover in The Hague followed by venue media manager at the sailing venue and 3×3 Basketball during the Special Olympics World Games in Berlin.
As venue media manager during the Allianz Sailing World Championships 2023 in The Hague I managed the media center, all communications with the attending media, the media boats and all four mixed zones and price givings.
From Summer to Winter Sports
In 2016 I also started working in wintersports. From 2016. – 2021 I worked as floor manager at world cups and world championships for the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation. At the Olympics in PyeongChang I was floor manager and spotter for OBS (Olympic Broadcasting Services) at the Olympic Sliding Center.
In 2022 I worked at the Olympics in Beijing as chief liaison officer at the speed skating oval and as liaison manager at wheelchair curling.
Other than that I worked as local fixer for Channel4/Whisper Films during the EUFA Women’s EURO 2017 in the Netherlands. In 2019 I worked for South Fields and EMG at the OQT and European Championships Men’s Volleyball as field producer. During the European Championships Munich 2022, I managed the mixed zones for both beach volleybal and sports climbing.
