Hey,
I'm Emma.
​
​
Welcome to my online home.
​
This website serves as the most up to date version of where I'm at professionally.
Most people know me as the girl who created her own college.
When I was 17, I decided not to follow the set track of going to college. Instead, I made the world my university and learned more than I ever expected to.
Emma's College is the platform where I share my methods, lessons learned, tips and much more.
Watch my TEDx Talk about this adventure:
Currently I spend most of my time:
Speaking on learning
Running
the Open Fields Foundation
Creating Emma's Notes
I give lectures on learning, using my own college as a starting point. I take the lessons I learned from creating an education in the real world and use those to inspire schools, companies and governmental organizations.
​
Previous talks have been on the stages of TEDx the Amsterdam Education Gala, and Future Talks.
​
​
​
​
The Open Fields Foundation shines a light on learning where there was no (access to) education.
​
Every human is equipped with the superpower we call learning.
Most people have a gap between their learning and education, simply because what we learn is greater than the education we got credit for.
​
Sometimes this gap is so great, however, that it poses problems like limited access to further education or jobs.
​
O.F.F. creates and supports solutions for these situations.
In doing so, we contribute to making education the thing it was always supposed to be: the great equalizer.
​
​
Emma's Notes is the virtual version of my brain. I share short notes, that are somewhere between a thought and a blog.
​
I write mostly about entrepreneurship, ethics, and learning.
My interests are pretty broad though. And since Emma's Notes are a little peek into my brain, don't be surprised if come at you way out of the left field.
