How nice that you ended up on my profile. Please let me introduce me. I am Sherita Jager, freelance journalist, translator and copywriter. I work very precise and with a lot of enthusiasm.

My background

I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I studied Journalism at the School for Journalism in Utrecht. During this four-year study I learned all the ins and outs of journalism. I choose the specialization of magazines. In my third year I went to Madrid for a minor in Philosophy and Modern History - all in español, of course. My last study year was spent on internships. I wrote for several weekly newspapers of the famous Telegraaf Media Group, and I wrote articles for international magazine Grazia. My graduation assignment was about the beauty ideal in the
media, and the effect of this on the self-image of women, a subject that I still like to talk about.

Some facts

I do not like to sleep with socks and I'm not very good at telling jokes.

I'm hilarious writing, but in real life I am really not funny.

I hate boiled carrots and I can't tell right from left

I just can't with scary movies and I'm afraid of ants.

My strong genres and interests

My strong genres are atmospheric and background articles, interview, reportage, personal descriptions and poems.

I have many interests, including people, languages, culture, Spain, Latin America, gender studies, sociology, beauty, history, philosophy, love, minimalism, sexism, feminism, culture, fashion, wedding trends, sustainable living, (natural) parenting, and jewelry.

Can a person have so many interests?
Yes.
Is it useful?
I don't know. You tell me :-)
