Account Manager

• Mar 2021 - Present

Booking Success is the hoteliers’ single point of contact for all online marketing needs, with over 15 years of experience in hotel marketing. The average independent hotel relies on tour operators and OTA's for 72% of their bookings, which costs them hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, while not being able to engage with the visitor before their arrival. Booking Success helps independent hotels reduce their OTA commissions by driving profitable direct bookings using our proven strategy. Simultaneously, they help hotels regain control of their bookings and achieve high occupancy rates year-round. As Account Manager, I’m responsible for Consultancy based on the 10 Pillar-Strategy, Sales, Online Marketing, Account Management, and Business Development. I manage + 20 Tourism-Properties in the Caribbean such as the Source in Turks & Caicos Islands, Hermitage Bay in Antigua & Courtyard Marriott in Bonaire. Show less

Model - actrice

• Jan 2009 - Present

From 15-to 29 years old I worked once in a while as a catwalk-/photo-/video-/promo model and had small roles as an actress. Thanks to these jobs I have developed qualities like discipline, the importance of a good posture, persistence, and organization skills that I can still use in my profession nowadays. It also helped me to come out of my comfort zone. It was never my ambition to work as a model, I never felt comfortable in front of the camera, and before I had to enter the catwalk for the first time, I thought I could get an anxiety attack! Thereby it also helped me to build a social network when I lived abroad, I made friends for life! I have worked for: Irsais - #Dreamgirl, Ridlaz, Nights Magazine, Urban Hairstyles, MotoGP, Paul Frank, Part of Me, StudioRuig, Pantalla Chica Productions, Walk & Dine, Angel Touch Wear, MyFabulousOutfits, Chris Strick, Curacao Design Week, Thermen Soesterberg (published in Linda.), Glamazon, Buywise, JewelJunkie, Chogogo, Sharry's Hairsalon, Lo-Bo, Inonge's fashion and designs, Columbia Sportswear, ShennaVision, Kunstenaar Rem van den Bosch, Designer Lola Khodjaeva, Demozah, VLOG EMMA (Omroep Friesland) and Rom Tambu.

Wellness Consultant

• Aug 2020 - Mar 2021

In 2015 I was graduated with the Bachelor of Business Administration in Vitality and Tourism Management. My full-time profession is in Tourism Marketing and as a hobby, I stayed in touch with the developments in the vitality world. Vitality is everything that has to around your wellbeing; relaxation, beauty, health, sport, etc. When the Covid-Crisis put me in the 80% NOW-regulations I lost 20 % of my income while I also became a mother in this crisis. In the past years, some companies out of the vitality field asked me to become a freelancer in marketing/consultancy and/or as a promo-model. I always said no, because I didn't think I could maintain my balance with my current versatile job + voluntary work. This Covid-Crisis gave me now an opportunity of 20% more time in business hours to create a 100% income. Companies who asked me before came back onto my path and even more!
