I’m Laura Zuidema, a young communications professional nearing the completion of my Bachelor of Arts in International Communication, with a minor in Journalism, at Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HanzeUAS) in Groningen, the Netherlands. I also completed the Erasmus+ program at the Higher Institute for Communication and Advertising (ISCOM) in Paris, a renowned French university that specializes in equipping students with practical skills in the communications sector. This program has given me the opportunity to work with real-life clients, including the Swedish music festival, All My Friends Are Stars.

Prior to my Parisian experience, I completed an internship at vtwonen, the leading interior design magazine in the Netherlands and Belgium, where I focused on writing lifestyle content and crafting online affiliate marketing strategies. Several of my articles, which include interviews with esteemed home- and business owners, were featured in the magazine.
