Tamara Mangelaars

Tamara ensures that nobody is short of anything in our cozy office. She is the voice and face of KL for guests, and eyes, ears and shoulder for colleagues. She provides a pleasant and safe working environment, she supports director Nora with dedication, and eagerly finds impurities in a text. As an internship coordinator, she takes care of all students who walk around in KL, she attends Supervisory Board meetings, and she interferes with Kennisland’s administration and IT. She also likes to check how everyone is doing, organises company outings and finds everything others are looking for.

Tamara studied Museology at the Reinwardt Academy and unofficially studied pop music in her spare time, immersing herself in Amsterdam’s thriving music and art scenes. As well as being a frequent festivalgoer and karaoke performer, Tamara also has a passion for self-development, yoga, eating, wandering and/or travelling, sometimes (over land) to the other side of the world. Tamara likes to connect with people everywhere, thus her favourite quote is:

“when you know how to listen everybody is the guru”
