Gil Plaquet’s Summary

I'm currently completing my journalism degree at Katholieke Hogeschool Mechelen.

Before that I spent two years studying English and French at Lessius Hogeschool Antwerpen, never completing my Bachelor.

As a big fan of everything related to Apple inc, I sell macs and other Apple related products during the weekends at Easy-M, a local Apple Reseller. (student position)

I do freelance journalism photography assignments for the Mechelen-Lier edition of a local newspaper called "Gazet van Antwerpen".

I am also involved with the StampMedia youth press agency based out of Antwerp, focussing mainly on photography and text.
