Alumna in the spotlight: Anneloes Krist

Alumna Anneloes Krist graduated in 2006 as one of the first MEM students and now works as a producer at NOS Sport. Anneloes is involved in the production of big projects. In the last two years she was responsible for the production of the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Beijing. 

Anneloes decided to choose the media programme because she wanted to do something creative, and she was also curious about the ‘TV world’. NOS Sport is a place where Anneloes can put her acquired knowledge into practice. ‘During our studies we learned to produce TV shows, so it’s a direct link,’ Anneloes says. She was one of the very first students for this programme. Because of that she and the other students had an influence on certain choices that were made for the programme and there was a lot of room for consultation with the lecturers. Her best memories from her time at BUas were the trip to Arizona and the writing and practical lessons with other students. 

To keep herself up to date in the developments of the media business now that she is working, she and her colleagues organise (technical) seminars and keep each other informed in the production team after they finish a big project. She sees different developments in society and in her work. For example, sustainability is an important topic these days. At NOS Sport sustainable project groups have been set up, they look at energy-saving measures in the building and they investigate how sustainable our productions are. Anneloes also mentions other things with a big impact on the business. ‘The developments around The Voice and now also Matthijs van Nieuwkerk generate a lot of discussion and conversations. It may put the media world in a bad light, but I think it’s a good development because the media world is a beautiful, inspiring but also hard world, where people work hard, but it must remain healthy. It's good that the discussion about this is now open and that certainly has an impact on how I feel about it and look at my work. Work hard, but above all do what makes you happy and nothing or no one is sacred.’ 

In the 2006 yearbook Anneloes wrote: ‘I want to work in television production. In the far future I would like to be the director of a television programme. And I still have another dream... I hope that someday I will be working in front of the camera instead of working behind the scenes.’ We are very curious to see if this dream of hers will become reality too. Let's keep in touch!
