Early life

From Zwolle, Overijssel, she started playing tennis at six years-of-age. Her parents Kristel and Alfred were both club players. She showed aptitude for tennis at an early age and was number three ranked U16 girl in the Dutch tennis rankings in 2019.

Career

She obtained her first professional ranking point in 2023 June at the age of 18 in Alkmaar. She reached the final of an ITF tournament for the first time in December 2023, in Monastir, Tunisia but was defeated in the final by Russian player Milana Zhabrailova. She had not been past the quarterfinals before and her run included a win over higher ranked Romanian player Andreea Prisacariu, who had been the top seed.

In March 2025, she won a W15 singles tournament in Monastir. In June 2025, she was awarded a wildcard into the women's doubles main draw at the Rosmalen Open for her WTA Tour debut, to play alongside fellow Dutch player Suzan Lamens.
