- After having studied singing at the department for improvising musician of the Conversatorium in Amsterdam for two years, she began to miss the theater and stepped over to the Academie voor Kleinkunst.
- At the academy she met the writer/director Ad de Bont, who helped her searching for an own theater form. This resulted in the music theater production Het Ritueel, for which she got the Creativiteitsprijs.
- Besides being an actress, she is also a singer. She has especially sung jazz, among other things including the group Several Singers and with Het Paradise Regained Orchestra conducted by the late Nedly Elstak.
- Furthermore she danced in the opera De materie of Louis Andriessen, under direction of Robert Wilson.
- In 1988 she won a shared second prize at the Festival Le Grand Prix du Theatre. She was a taxi driver in the movie Honneponnetje of director Ruud van Hemert and played in Gemene verhalen on Veronica (a Dutch TV channel).
- She also gave her assistance to the production Architectonaal of the group Tamam, directed by the Japanese choreographer Shusaku Takeuchi.
- She also sang in The Rockets of jazz saxophonist Jan Cees Tans and in the close-harmony group De Melodiewaps, that she founded together with the singers Peggy Larson and Astrid Seriese.
- With her own solo music theater production Kripuur she won the Top Naeff prize for the most promising graduating project. What appealed the jury the most was the fact that she knew to combine singing and music with theater in a self-willed way.
- In an October 2005 special to celebrate the 2000th episode of Goede tijden, slechte tijden (1990), she expressed the wish for her character Laura to get married again and this time have a real wedding with a long red dress and a long train (as opposed to the character's last nuptials, where she wore a yellow dress with spaghetti straps).
