I know what it feels like to look for a job without knowing where to start.

I was once a fresh immigrant myself, trying to figure out the Dutch job market from the outside. I know how frustrating it can be: applications disappearing into a black hole, unexplained rejections, interviews that go well but never lead to an offer, and recruiters who stop responding after the first call.

So I decided to understand how the system actually works.

Today, I work in HR, advising both employees and the business. Before that, I worked as an Account Manager in recruitment, working directly with clients to understand their hiring needs. And I’ve been a candidate myself.

Over the years, I’ve been involved in 1,000+ interviews, screening calls, recruitment conversations and client meetings. This has taught me to look beyond simply making a CV look good. I understand what happens on the other side of an application, what recruiters and hiring managers look for, and where strong candidates can unintentionally get lost.

I’ve now helped dozens of people navigate their job search and find opportunities in the Netherlands.

My goal is simple: to make your job search more strategic, efficient and less exhausting. Together, we focus on where you fit, how to position your experience, and where your effort is most likely to pay off.

I know what it feels like to lose your footing. And to have to rebuild it somewhere new.

I moved countries myself and had to figure out not only how to build a career, but how to feel like myself again in an unfamiliar language, culture and system. I know what that can do to your confidence, sense of direction and energy, long before it ever shows up as “burnout” on paper.

Alongside my work in HR, I trained as a coach. I hold the MMS Transformational Executive Coach Certificate, delivered through an ICF-accredited training program.

My experience working one-on-one with people started much earlier, as an educator. For over a decade, I’ve worked with children, teenagers and adults with a wide range of needs, including special needs. Since 2022, I’ve coached immigrants and refugees through career transitions and adapting to life in a new country, and my coaching has since expanded to professionals within the companies I’ve worked for and individual clients from different backgrounds and stages of life.

I’ve learned that burnout, feeling lost or struggling to find balance rarely come from one simple problem. They’re often connected to identity, culture, expectations and circumstances.

I don’t believe in generic advice. I believe in understanding what is actually going on for you and working from there.

My goal is to help you find clarity and steadiness, whether you’re recovering from burnout, seeking better balance, reconnecting with your sense of purpose, navigating a transition, or building a life and career that feel like your own.

I know how it feels when something’s wrong at work, and going to your own HR department doesn’t feel like an option.

Through my work in HR, I’ve advised both management and employees on employee relations, workplace conflict, performance, and long-term sickness absence. I’ve seen how often people stay stuck in difficult situations simply because there’s no neutral person to talk things through with: the colleague who won’t let something go, the manager who’s out of their depth, or the conversation everyone is avoiding.

My background in recruitment, where I worked directly with companies on hiring and workforce needs, combined with my coaching experience, means I understand both the business and human side of workplace challenges.

That’s what I bring to HR consulting: not a full HR department, but focused, practical support with communication, conflict and difficult workplace situations.
