Hi there! I’m Amber and the next 4 months, you’ll find me at the WE LIKE YOU office. Excited? Pretty much! Ready to rumble, ready to introduce myself. This is me in a – quite big – nutshell.
- How would you describe yourself?
A bit shy at first, but a motormouth once I get to know people. Oops. I’m motivated to get the best out of everything and (unfortunately for my hips) always in the mood for food.
- What’s the most interesting thing about you that we wouldn’t learn from your resume alone?
I might seem a bit lazy, and on Sundays I am, but I’m actually a busy bee. Besides working to get my degree, I take piano classes, love horseback riding, spend a lot of time working for my student association and try to use my gym membership from time to time. In the meantime, I like to travel as much as possible. Next up? Thailand!
- What inspires you?
People who eat like a pig and don’t gain any weight. Are they even human? No, seriously now. I admire people who get things done, climb the ladder and build their own career.

What’s the best piece of advice someone has given to you?
Might sound like a cliché, but the best piece of advice you can possibly get is to follow your heart and do you. Follow your gut, it’s the best guideline!
-
What made you choose WE LIKE YOU for your internship?
How could I not choose WE LIKE YOU? A young team that gets their hands dirty working with social media. Really inspiring for a communications student with a secret crush on Instagram.
- Your first day as a #WLYIntern. In one word, how do you feel?
So nervous I even let my boyfriend drive my car…
- Are you a Social Media fanatic?
Yes, yes, yes!. When I wake up, I grab my phone faster than I grab a cup of coffee. I don’t drink coffee anyway, but you get it.
- How much time do you spend on social media?
According to my parents: too much. But hey, it’s my (future) job, isn’t it? 😉
- Who or which brand do you like the most on Instagram?
Soep&Zoet, for sure! Dreaming about the best brunch all day, that would be me.
- What do you think about the future of social media?
Social media will take over the world. Did you know even Crocs has its own Instagram profile? Enough said.
- What gets you up in the mornings?
My boyfriend’s 5 alarms. Lifehack: don’t date someone that snoozes.
- Current song on repeat?
Super Trouper – ABBA. It’s just a phase, I promise.
- How would you get an elephant into a refrigerator?
Are we still doing that? Animal rights, guys!
- How would you describe you having a good time?
Watching Netflix all night long, please.
- What are your favourite apps?
Probably Instagram and Twitter. And I must admit, I use Pixlr a lot to edit my pictures. I should really work on my Photoshop skills, but that’s why I’m here, right?
- What is your favorite TV-show?
At the moment, I’m really hooked on The Originals. I’ve got a thing for vampires I guess.
- What is your favorite place to visit in the world?
Australia is the ultimate dream!
- Which kind of music genre do you ‘dig’?
Kind of a rockchick over here. Is it time for Rock Werchter already?
- Last but not least, how do people recognise you?
The loudest voice/laugh in the room, that’s me.
