About me
From the age of 14 I took theater lessons at the youth theater school in Enschede. After doing several plays and working in a show restaurant in Groningen for a year, I left for England when I was 19 to follow a theater course there. In 2005 I graduated from Startek London School of Language and Drama, with ao the LAMDA golden medal in acting solo and the International Drama Award from Chichester College. Since I returned to the Netherlands, I have played one of the leading roles in the film Lenteveld www.lenteveld.nl, played in various corporate films and short films, including a leading role in the short English film Before The Sun, which won me the Best Actress award won at the packed gala. I also work as a presenter for the program Flex www.tvflex.nl and Europe 4 U www.europe4u.nl and various programs on Midvliet TV such as Backstage www.bimaproductions.nl Since 2008 I also work as Casting Director for John Doornik casting.
