Maeve Simons
Whether planning an event or proofreading a book, Maeve is a passionate organiser of people, places, and things. A trans-Atlantic child with a passion for conservation, she grew up with one foot in California's Mojave Desert and the other in the blooming heather of Ireland's Comeragh Mountains.
She received her Masters in English Literature from University College Cork in Ireland, and settled in Amsterdam upon graduation, drawn by the city's diverse culture and rich history. Since 2010, Maeve has worked with a variety of NGOs and corporations as a media consultant, event planner, project manager, copywriter and a Getting Stuff Done-r. Her portfolio includes work with Greenpeace, Avaaz.org, Medecins sans Frontieres, Dancing Fox, and Fairphone.
When she's not behind her computer working or writing, you'll generally find Maeve in the local park with a science fiction novel, admiring other people's dogs.
