Before joining team Yoast, I worked as a social worker for some years. I know next to nothing about computers and, to be honest, I would like to keep it that way!
I started out as a facility employee at Yoast. But I like to poke my nose into stuff, and that way I got involved in more and more tasks and grew into a new function. I was the facility manager for a while. Beside managing the Yoast offices, I loved going to WordCamp. Especially to volunteer.
Yoast grew, and we got 2 more offices. That became to much to manage in the hours that I work. That’s when they asked me if I would like to become a community representative. It didn’t take me long to answer: YES!
So now I visit even more WordCamps and get to meet so many new amazing people in the wonderful WordPress Community. If you ever see me wandering around at a WordCamp, come up to meet me. I simply love meeting new people, but please don’t ask me difficult questions about our products. ;)
I live with my husband Jeroen, and our three children (Eva, Bas and Anne) in Wijchen. In my spare time I like to sew children’s bags, and make all kinds of things with paper and fabric. I love to read and watch Netflix series and of course, spend time with my family.
It’s time to meet in Torino for the next WordCamp Europe edition! The Yoast team is looking forward to meeting everyone in Italy.
