Studied jazz singing at the Royal Conservatory The Hague and took private lessons classical singing with Jan Willem Westerhuis and Cora Burggraaf. Produced a lot of music theatre pieces, in which she also performed. Sang with vocal groups "Jazzed to the Max", "Les Bonbons de Babette (French)" and jazz/funk group DASH!. Performed with De Kift (opera), Nederlands Blazers Ensemble, Metropole Orchestra, I Compani Big Band.

Since the pandemic she developed her composing skills: produced, wrote and composed "Indra" (an Indonesian fairytale) and "NUTS" - songcycle about kapitalism. With PieterJan Cramer van den Bogaart (pi), Dion Nijland (bs) and Nout Ingen Housz (dr) she forms her perfect quartet: a combination of theatre, music and improvisation.
