Speaking Engagements and Writing
My research spans a variety of topics under the larger banner of digital culture, algorithmic governance, big data, time, and in relation to art and performance. On a regular basis, I travel and share my research for expert and lay audiences internationally. I also write for lay audiences, such as contextualising artistic works for exhibition catalogues.
Moderator at Cultural Events
I have hosted panel discussions at cultural festivals and am knowledgable in cultural topics like theatre, film, media and art. I am experienced as an emcee for professional events and have hosted occasions such as prize award ceremonies, performance shows, and luncheons. I also have worked as a docent/ gallery assistant for art installations, giving tours and receiving school groups as well as the general public. Selected past events include:
- Panel Moderator on “WITNESSING”, Inward/Outward Symposium: Critical Archival Engagements with Sounds and Films of Coloniality, The Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, FramerFramed Amsterdam, March 2023
- Moderator for Contextual Programme, There Will Be Light by Studio Julian Hetzel, at SPRING Festival/ Het Huis Utrecht and West Den Haag, May 2022
- Panel Moderator on “(Infra)structures of Trust”

Creative Training
I offer creative training workshops and host inspiration sessions for corporate clients and public sector services. I am trained in alternative pedagogies and creative thinking, and have won awards at the Odyssey of Mind competitions in my teens. I have since developed creative techniques for the university classroom and in cross-cultural settings for theatre projects. Upon invitation, I gave a tailor-made hybrid lecture-performance-workshop session for Leiderschap in Cultuur Artistiek/ Artistic Leadership in Culture for creative professionals at Utrecht University’s Creative Humanities Academy in June 2024.
Dramaturgy
I offer dramaturgical advice for young and emerging artists, in relation to devised performances, especially in relation to new media dramaturgy, multimedia performance, and technology on stage. I also have experience in co-creating dramaturgical workshops for contemporary performance practices.

Academic English Services: Professional Editor and Proofreader
I am a professional English editor and proofreader for academic texts, and have experience working with Master Theses, PhD dissertations, and other academic papers. For students, I can provide comments on the level of structure and organisation in addition to language. My editing makes texts more professional, streamlined, and readable, but still allows room for the personal style of the author to shine through. My specialisation is in the Humanities (Cultural Theory, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Theatre Studies).
