Frederieke started her first foreign adventure at the age of 18, when she moved to the US for an exchange.

Frederieke has been active for over ten years for international HR consultancy firm Cubiks as assessor, trainer, facilitator and coach. Many of her clients operate internationally and this enables her to carry out assignments throughout Europe.
