Jill-of-all-trades

As a “hybrid” worker, a Jill-of-all-trades I’ve practised myself professionally in several creative professions, which I pursue all at the same time. I direct, write, speak, train, lobby, perform, host, organize, preside, connect and sing.

I’m a human rights advocate. In 2015 I was the Dutch Women’s Representative in the Netherlands delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. I was the first women’s representative ever to address the assembly on human rights, equal rights for LBT-women and intersex people.

I am well known within the lesBian community for the ever popular Dutch Sing-a-long, which I’ve initiated in 2005 in gay-mix straight friendly Saarein women’s bar. I am the founder of the OndersteBoven foundation that advocates for the visibility, emancipation and thus equal rights for LBTI women.

Until October 2016 for 2,5 years I was the director LGBTI emancipation for the Amsterdam Pride. For the first time since 1994 we organized a special edition of Amsterdam Pride, namely the pan European festival EuroPride from July 23 – August 7 2016.

In 2019, I produced the Diversity and Inclusion Vision Day for trade union FNV, which we are rolling out at all kinds of levels.

That year my world was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts; luckily in an early stage, so the damage was limited to breast-conserving surgery on both breasts and a month of radiation. On my first working day in 2020, the lockdown started because of COVID. I conducted research for the municipality of Amsterdam, became business leader of the Power Women Hour and did a lot of volunteer work in addition to my fine work for FNV. And of course I sing. That never stops.
