I obtained my first MA in International Business Communication at the Radboud University Nijmegen in 2006 on improving HIV/Aidsprevention documents in South Africa (www.epidasa.org). After graduating, I worked in advertising as a junior strategist for THEY. Six months later, I returned to academia where I co-authored a book on ‘how advertising influences you unconsciously’ at SWOCC (part of the UvA). And just recently I worked at the VU University on a project concerning Second Life.
Currently, I am an PhD Candidate at the VU University Amsterdam, conducting research on Virtual Worlds.
