As an elite athlete, I grew up within the national and international archery community, where I developed not only my skills as an archer but also a deep passion for the sport. Since entering the world of archery, I have taken on a variety of roles that have allowed me to contribute to the growth of the sport at multiple levels.

Since 2011, I have been active as an (assistant) coach, supporting the development of many young and talented archers in the Netherlands. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the sport’s most dedicated and accomplished athletes and teammates, experiences that have shaped both my competitive mindset and coaching philosophy.

In addition to my work as an athlete and coach, I am strongly committed to volunteering within the archery community. I have served as a local club board member and president, and I am actively involved in organizing competitions, helping to create opportunities for archers to grow and perform at their best.
