My name is Doortje. I'm from Amsterdam. I lived there all my life and I'm a lawyer.
Why did you join After5?
I joined After5 because I wanted to expand my circle of like female friends, make new connections with aspiring people, and ambitious.
How was your first after five experience?
My first after five experiences was really great. Like we had a table. I think we were with five women. It was just a great connection, I am still in contact with some of them, which is really nice. I then did a second Table as the first time was just really, really good.
What is your advice for people joining their first table?
My advice for people joining their first table would be to not be too anxious about it. Like, just try and be open to the experience because everybody there will just be the most interesting people that you can meet. Just be open to it, go with the flow.
What do you think, like, female friendships bring you?
I think female friendships bring me a lot of insight into yourself and the way that we interact with each other and how we move into this world.
Also, for all other aspects in my life the female insight brings so much more value. I learned a lot from the women in my life. So that's why I wanted to expand that circle as well to meet more amazing women.
