Hi there! My name is Isabel Malaika Eeckhout, and I'm thrilled to share that I have graduated in International Communication & Media. Throughout my studies, I developed a strong interest in digital media and digital storytelling, and I'm truly passionate about leveraging technology and creativity to craft compelling narratives and meaningful content. My background includes practical experience in social media management and video production, and I've delved into various aspects of media, such as communications, cultural studies, and marketing.
Proficient in several computer programs like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, and WordPress, I am constantly motivated to explore fresh avenues for utilizing my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on others. Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm an enthusiastic traveler who loves to immerse myself in diverse cultures and learn about different corners of the world.
Now, as a graduate, I am excited to apply my expertise in digital media to connect with people from all walks of life, foster meaningful relationships, and continue my journey of exploration and growth.
I graduated cum laude from International Communication & Media at Thomas More Hogeschool in Mechelen, Belgium. This course has been a great opportunity to explore the world of media, communication and culture. I've been able to learn about different types of media, how they work, and their impact on people, culture, and society. I've also had the chance to study various aspects of communication and media, such as the use of digital technologies, the impact of advertising, and the way media and communication shape our public discourse.
During my enriching exchange program at Centro Universitario CESINE in Santander, I delved into a diverse range of courses, each contributing significantly to my academic and professional growth. Some of the notable courses I pursued include:
These experiences have not only deepened my knowledge but also equipped me with valuable skills that I am eager to apply in the dynamic world of International Communication & Media.
I studied Latin and Modern Languages in high school. Latin was a fascinating language to learn as it connected me to the great classical writers such as Virgil and Cicero, providing me with an incredible insight into their works and the culture of the ancient world. Learning the language of Latin also helped me to understand the etymology of many words, which I believe has made me a better writer. Additionally, I was able to learn about the grammar of the language, and this has been extremely beneficial for my other language studies. Learning Modern Languages also helped me to develop an appreciation for different cultures, and I was able to learn about the various dialects, literature, and other cultural aspects of different countries. My studies of Latin and Modern Languages have been incredibly beneficial, and I am eternally grateful for them.
