I am a subject specialist and librarian, also a language enthusiast living in Friesland.

I am passionate about languages and minorities. In 2018 I published my thesis titled Combative minority literature writers in the aftermath of the Great War: Douwe Kalma, Saunders Lewis, Hugh MacDiarmid and Roparz Hemon.

My special subject in the field of library and archival acquisition is Frisian language and literature. I am also a subject specialist with regard to other modern languages such as Dutch, English, French and German.
