Her career highlights include two gold, two silver, and four bronze medals on the FIVB World Tour, plus two European Championship titles. She continues to compete with Meppelink, and she keeps a modest social media presence with around 4k Instagram followers. She remains a prominent figure in Dutch beach volleyball.
