Profile
At the University of Amsterdam, I am affiliated with the Television and Cross-Media Culture team within the Media Studies Department. I have studied at the University of Leipzig, Germany, the University of Miami, USA, and the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, and hold a Research Master in Television and Cross-Media Culture from the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Connecting my professional experience as a Creative Director with my research, my main research interests are architectural media, gender and the intersection between technology and the everyday. In 2022-23, I will be co-organizing the ASCA Cities Seminar on "More-than-human-Cities" together with Carolyn Birdsall and Riley Gold.
Besides my academic work, I am the editorial assistant of NECSUS: European Journal of Media Studies (open access) and continue to freelance as a creative consultant.
