About

Young trilingual professional (fr-nl-en) with a master's degree in communications - public relations - and five formative years in a Belgian fashion start-up. I discovered the fields of customer service and relations management, logistics/supply chain and E-commerce. I quickly understand what's at stake and I'm solution-oriented. Dynamic and hands-on, I'm looking forward to work in a fast-paced environment.
