Evita Bookelmann

Evita Bookelmann, graduated historian at the University of Utrecht. I have a Master's degree in international relations in historical perspective. At the moment I'm working at SUSA Studentagency as financial and administrative assistant.


I've always been interested in art and culture. In high school I took drawing, art history and cultural education. As a student I've taken a number of courses within the field of cultural history. I've worked as a volunteer at several film festivals (NFF and IDFA). I also have a museum pass and go to exhibitions on a regular basis.
