Chris Lukkassen

Chris Lukkassen has always felt at home on stage. Her childhood was filled with musicals and theatre productions, with a highlight being a Joop van den Ende production at the prestigious Carré Theatre in Amsterdam. After completing secondary school, she faced a choice: pursue a career in theatre or take a different path. She opted for an unexpected direction and began studying Law at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Although law ultimately proved not to be her calling, she successfully completed her degree.

The question then became how to combine her academic knowledge with her passion for the stage. Journalism seemed like a promising direction, leading her to pursue a master's degree in Communication and Information Sciences, specialising in Journalism.

Communication

During her master's studies, Chris began working as a freelance writer for Kennis over Zien, producing articles about interventions and support for people with visual impairments. This introduced her to the auditory aspects of communication.

She currently works as a communications advisor at Deelkracht, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with hearing and communication difficulties. Through this role, she discovered the importance of accessibility and developed a talent for tailoring messages to specific audiences, a skill she also brings to the stage.

On Stage

Despite her career in communication, Chris's heart has always remained on stage. At Frankwatching, she found the perfect opportunity to combine both worlds.

She hosts online courses on marketing and communication, facilitating studio discussions with experts, asking insightful questions and actively engaging audiences. She also presents various video productions, including explainer videos and promotional content.

Through Frankwatching, Chris has had the opportunity to host large-scale events covering topics such as social media, SEO, artificial intelligence, workplace happiness and marketing. What makes her approach distinctive is her ability to combine expertise in communication and marketing with her passion for presenting.

Chris as a Moderator or Presenter

And that is exactly what Chris aims to bring to your event: a strong combination of meaningful content and engaging presentation.

With a background in law, journalism and communication, alongside her broad interests, natural curiosity and love for the stage, she knows how to connect with any audience.

People often describe her as disarmingly genuine, although she finds that a little difficult to say about herself. What she does know is that she can understand and appreciate different perspectives and opinions. With a touch of boldness, she challenges others to do the same.

This ability to connect, challenge and engage makes Chris a natural fit for a wide variety of audiences and events.
