Where do you work and what do you do?
Hello from Oz! I am the Venue Operations Manager at Theatre Royal Sydney. 

My role is to empower our venue team to ensure our patrons have an enjoyable, well informed, safe experience – preferably with a cocktail (or mocktail) in hand! I also strive to keep our employees innovative and sales focused, and to ensure our production and event clients are well supported and keen to return in future.

Your Greatest sporting achievement?
I played Rugby 7’s for the Netherlands and I still can’t speak a lick of Dutch.

My parents. And Jurgen Klopp – I fear I have unwisely revealed my allegiance to the UK Traf Team with that response.

Nothing I cook can be considered a masterpiece, but boy am I great at washing up.
