I manage the AMOC Shop – and have been doing so since 2011.
In the last few years my role has expanded quite a bit; almost inevitable when you are working in a small team that is covering a wide range of activities and responsibilities.
I moved to the UK about 19 years ago from my native Amsterdam -straight to the tiny village of Drayton St. Leonard where AMOC HQ is based. Quite a change! I bought a pair of wellies, took up bellringing and I'm a regular at the local pub – so yes, I feel at home on this beautiful island.
Best things about my job: I love to be part of this passionate, international community. The enthusiasm and dedication of our Area Reps and other volunteers is truly inspirational. I also like the challenges that come with being “a department of one” which means a lot of variation in my daily tasks. I love retail and beautiful colours and I feel privileged to work in a place where people come to enjoy and share their passion.
