The team at STROOM continues to grow, so we would like to introduce our colleagues to you. In this interview we introduce you to Sophie, Communications Consultant at STROOM Amsterdam
Who are you?
Sophie Eskes, I am 28 years old and live in Amsterdam. I was born in Lichtenvoorde, which is in the Achterhoek region. For my studies I moved to Amsterdam, and I still live there.
How do you fill your position at STROOM?
As a Communications Consultant, I am often the first point of contact for clients. I try to be as involved as possible so that I am truly an extension of the team and questions are picked up and worked out quickly.
What did you do for this?
I currently work in the media for 3.5 years, my first job was at De Media Maatschap which has now merged with STROOM. Before this I studied Business Administration at the Free University of Amsterdam.
What are your growth aspirations?
I would like to broaden myself by also gaining more digital experience and understanding digital media more. In addition, I want to gain a lot of experience in my current role that will allow me to advance to Senior Communications Consultant.
What do you get energy from in your free time?
Currently I am running a lot which gives me energy and satisfaction. I also get energy from music, both listening, dancing and making music myself.
What can people wake you up at night for?
Actually for nothing at all, sleep is hugely important to me. Only when there is a fire!
