Here I am!


I just graduated as a Bachelor of Marketing. I work for an affiliate marketing agency and enjoy working on a few other projects as well. I see the internet as a medium to share thoughts, and that is exactly what I will do on this blog. So here I am, Marjolein van der Kolk!

And...


Besides being a work-a-holic, I am an human being as well. One who likes to cook, to travel, to speak other languages, to read. The usual stuff ;). Want to know more? Check my CV or contact page.
