How it all started
I grew up in a small town in The Netherlands, with a big dream to one day move to a mediterranean country. I'm raised in a construction company and my dad is a true example of a entrepreneur with the mentality to never give up. Running a business is something I have always aspired to in which I find the marketing part the most fascinating. I found the perfect study in Amsterdam, Bachelor in Business Administration for Entrepeneurs. During this time I started my own business in a real estate niche, won 2 prices with it and continued doing it after finishing my study.
As we all know, you only learn by failing and that is what happend. But because of my interest in marketing I started doing marketing for several companies, until I saw a new chance in Real Estate. Right before I moved to Portugal in 2022 I worked as a Junior Real Estate Agent in commercial properties. This experience was very valuable for me to understand Real Estate marketing even more, allowing working for Divine Home being the perfect match.
Why I love my job
Marketing is a word that can be interpreted in many ways and I feel lucky that I can do the best part; content creating and designing. Being creative with the camera, graphic visuals and events makes my work so dynamic and exciting. I love having the camera in my hand, shooting at beautiful locations and properties, talking to the owners and making a story. Nothing is impossible, and that is not only how I think but also how Divine Home thinks. Beautiful things can grow in that space. It sounds cliché, but not a day is the same.
When I'm not working
There are so many fun things to do and learn! Working out is a big part of my life, but I also love hopping in the car and discover the Algarve, meeting new people and being in nature. I recently started beekeeping, which is becoming a little obsession now.
