Lieke studied classical languages, German and literary studies at the University of Amsterdam. She started teaching Latin and Dutch at Taalhuis Amsterdam in 2021. Aside from teaching, she is also one of the Dutch coordinators and has various other tasks within the organisation, like hosting lectures about ancient and/or lesser-known languages. As a linguistics nerd, Lieke is always up for complicated grammar questions from colleagues and students.

Outside of Taalhuis, Lieke enjoys winding down by knitting or crocheting, watching Star Trek, playing geography quizzes, and studying new languages. She is about ten times more likely to read anything if the title contains a pun.
