The Beginning
Caribbean Beginnings to Amsterdam Adventures

Born on the vibrant island of Curacao, just off the coast of Venezuela, I was whisked away to the Netherlands during my toddler years. Amsterdam became my playground, where I cultivated a love for literature and football amidst its historic canals and bustling streets. My childhood was a tapestry of curiosity, adventure, and an early passion for the stories and strategies found within pages and pitches.

2001 - 2004

Each audit was not just a review of financials but a lesson in the narratives behind the numbers.
