During my studies at Fashion college I worked at McDonalds where I started as a crewmember and worked my way up to management. I have had several courses and training sessions during those 4 years. It has taught me many skills that I still use on a day to day basis in my personal and professional life.

I participated in a design contest for StoryStoles, and my design came 4th, and was made in limited edition.
In my first year at ROC Amsterdam a design contest was held in celebration of the Mode Biennale in Arnhem, with the theme Fetish. Participants were asked to send in a self-designed apron. I was among 100 winners, and my apron was exhibited during the Mode Biennale.
