I’m originally from ‘s-Hertogenbosch and now based in Utrecht, where I work as a documentary director, archival researcher, and editor with a focus on both traditional and web documentaries.

After studying History in Utrecht and Public History in Amsterdam, I started combining thorough historical research with compelling storytelling. I directed and edited major YouTube series about WWII for TimeGhost (DE), and began developing my own work as an independent filmmaker. My debut film WHEN SHE IS NOT HERE (2023) reflects my love for working with archival footage.

Besides directing, I regularly contribute as a researcher to other documentaries. I have a curious mindset, sharp eye for complicated issues and a soft heart for social topics like homelessness, addiction, poverty, grief and trauma. 

Archival research is my specialty, and my background as a director helps me blend in-depth research with a strong narrative approach. I was trained by the in-house researchers at Sound & Vision (NL) and collaborate with award-winning directors and producers like Tom Fassaert, Menno Otten, David de Jongh, Menna Laura Meijer, and Pieter van Huystee.

I’m also active as a film editor; mostly for my own films, but also for other projects and series.

My work has been shown at international festivals and on Dutch public television. I collaborate closely with archives such as Sound & Vision (NL), Reuters (UK) and Screenocean (UK), and work with production companies including Een van de jongens, Pieter van Huystee Film, mint film office, Submarine Channel, and TimeGhost. Dutch broadcasters I’ve worked with include EOdocs, VPRO, NTR, Omroep MAX and RTV Utrecht.

Every now and then, I take on commissioned documentaries on topics I care about, like the one I made for the Living Lab ‘Eerst een Thuis’, funded by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.
