I'm a Belgian citizen and I recently graduated from the University College Ghent with a Bachelor of Social Educational Care Work. The focus of this degree was social sciences, behavioural studies, special needs education and disability studies.
My mother tongue is Dutch, and I speak English, French and German. I consider English to be my second language and achieved a band score of 8.5 on the IELTS test which is equivalent to a C2 level on the CEFR. I have a conversational knowledge of French and a basic knowledge of German.
I have worked as an intern in the social care field to aid people with disabilities and people with an immigration background.
Besides internships, I worked in the hospitality sector for eight years, seven of which in the same restaurant.
I am currently in the process of relocating to the United Kingdom, London in particular, where I'm looking for a job opportunity which can provide a visa sponsorship. I'm open for work in any sector.

I am very interested in history and learning about it. I like to watch documentaries and videos on the internet about the new (and old) discoveries in archeology. I like to learn about a variety of subjects such as history, psychology and various religions.
I like to play video games with my friends online and love movies.
