EDUCATION
In the fall of 2011 I started my Bachelor's degree in Communication Studies at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY. During my sophomore year I added an Art minor. In the Fall of 2014, in 3.5 years instead of the usual 4 years, I have finished my BA and graduated with a 3.81 (Magna Cum Laude).
In the Spring of 2015 I've started my MSc in Physical Education with a concentration in Sports Administration. I concluded my masters in the Spring of 2016 with a 4.0.
Studying in another country with another language and culture than The Netherlands, has been a very interesting experience. It has been interesting to see the differences between these countries and it has made me aware of how these differences can influence the way people communicate. Also being aware of these differences helped me to relate to other people better and not make assumptions that everyone is the same and knows the same.
