Why do you want to become an egg donor?

Who are the most important people in your life?

The most important people in my life would be my Oma, grandma, sister, mom & dad, and best friend. All of these people have taught me so many different things in life and allowed me to be the person I am today. They have also given immense support throughout the many challenges life can throw at you and I couldn't ask for a better support system. And although my mom couldn't stick around for long, honoring her memory gives me the strength and inspiration I use daily.

What are your special talents?

I skateboard and love film photography. I can also play the piano and play music by ear. I also speak Dutch!

What is the one change you wish to see in the world?

I wish to see more empathy and compassion. I feel like people have slowed down on looking out for one another and I would like to see a change in that. I strive everyday to show kindness to those around me in hopes that it spreads to others too.

What would you consider to your greatest strengths?

My greatest strengths are probably my ability to talk to just about anybody. I truly am a people person and I love hearing what those have to say from all different backgrounds. My ability to mediate has come in handy quite a few times both in my personal and professional life; and I feel as though that comes so easily because of my ability to talk to people. Another strength of mine would be my creativity. I am always thinking of different shoots I would like to do whether it be photography or film. Whenever I'm walking around my eyes turn into camera lenses and I try to document my memories in a meaningful way that appeals to my creative side.

What is your favorite dish to consume?

My favorite dish to consume is without a doubt massaman curry filled with loads of veggies (preferably with a coconut milk Thai tea on the side)

What is something you've accomplished in life that you are most proud of?

My most proud accomplishment is probably the mentorship I completed with one of my favorite photographers. I flew to LA to shoot with her and it definitely got me out of my comfort zone and opened up my eyes to so many different possibilities with a camera. It was a wonderful experience and I was blown away by how much I learned and the shots I got!

What is a book you love?

I am really into the horror/thriller genre, and right now I'm reading The Institute by Stephen King and cannot put it down!

How would other people describe you?

I feel like other people would describe me as a clever, funny, do it yourself woman. Whether it be planning a trip or doing home improvements, I am certainly going to DIY before bringing others into the equation and I'm willing to help anyone else to the same without a second thought.

Describe your own personality to us

I am definitely quick witted and not very serious. I like to keep life fun and funny. I am a natural caregiver and the last one to sit at the table, only after insuring everyone else has been taken care of. I am there for anyone who needs me at the drop of a hat.

Books you are currently reading

The Institute by Stephen King as well as Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Who are you closest to in your family and why?

I would say I was closest with my Oma until she passed. I was her full time caregiver up until her time. I know she would have done the same for me. She was a Dutch immigrant and single mother to my dad and uncle and honestly just an inspiration to me. I could talk to her about anything and she would listen. She offered me advice when I needed it and similarly a joke if I needed that too. I think I get my independence from her.

What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?

I am a bartender because that's just where life dropped me. I love making drinks for people outside of what they would usually order and seeing them love that first sip! As for my schooling, I have always wanted to get more into the film industry as a photographer and amateur videographer as well. And going to school isn't exactly necessary for this career path but is super helpful when it comes to connections and access to equipment I would otherwise not have access to.

If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?

I'm down to earth, funny, creative, and most importantly kind. I would love to pass that onto your beautiful, growing family.
