About me
I'm a driven woman that found her passion in webdevelopment. I like structure and I write down everything I find important. I have eye for detail and I'm not afraid to ask questions. I find it important to work in a team, because I learn more in collaborating with others than I do by myself. I'm a part of the Drupal community. Drupal is an open source CMS with a great community. I find it important to parttake in this and to help make the CMS better. I have helped organise multiple Drupal events in my own time. For example: the DrupalJam 2017 (core organisation team), DrupalJam 2018 (room supervisor), DrupalCon Europe 2017, 2018 & 2019 (mentoring).
