My name is Marloes,
And this is my portfolio
Welcome to this portfolio website! On here, you can find a collection of collaboration, work experiences with inspiring people or research based essays, that have prepared me for these collaborations or personal projects. And to, of course, keep an overview of all the research that I've done and share this with all who are interested in learning about the same topics.
With a portfolio that should shape not only my personal journey but possibly also my professional direction, I'd like to shape a space for at least myself, wherein creative concepts, cultural collaborations, and personal experimentations can coexist.
Education
2007-2016
Elementary school
'Het Aquamarijn'
Aquamarijn was a Maria Montessori based school, wherein the child is centered and handled by hands-on, self-directed learning and respect for the child's natural development.
At the end of it, I participated in a Youth Meeting in the Netherlands through an external origination the Children's International Summer Village, which brings together kids from different cultures to teach them to work together while considering the cultural and historical differences and compatibilities.
2016-2022
High school
'Het Pierson College'
At the Pierson College I received my havo diploma after which I went on an Interrail trip for five weeks after graduation, one with my best friend, and four on my own (Greece - Bulgaria - Austria - Germany - Netherlands - France - Spain - Portugal)
Not only did I participate in the Step-Up through the Children's International Summer Village in Japan during high school, I also staffed (organized) one afterwards high school
2022-2023
European Studies
'Zuyd Hogeschool'
Started my first Bachelor's program in Maastricht and figured out that it might not be the best one for me. Quit and started working 100 hours a week at a local restaurant to keep up rent, save up for another Interrail trip, and stay in the city that had my hart.
With two friends I went on another Interrail trip for three weeks (France - Italy - Croatia - Slovenia - Hungary - Tjechia)
2023-current
International Business

-
Went on another interrail trip;
-
Did a study exchange in Dublin, Ireland;
-
Joined a sorority under student association 'Onafhankelijk Maastricht';

Did an internship abroad to Jamaica
