Here is a little bit more information about myself! I love volleyball, but I hope I made that clear :).

I was born in the Netherlands and moved to Los Angeles when I was 5. I had a great time growing up in LA!

I love the beach (and yes…Beach Volleyball, too!).

Marymount is a fantastic school. The fact that it is ‘all girls’ works really well for me, and the volleyball program under Cari Klein’s leadership is outstanding, going beyond the sport and helping me grow as a human, not ‘just’ as an athlete!

I have three siblings and the four of us are all really into sports:

My older brother, Thijmen, went to USC and played on their rugby team.

My older sister, Fiene, is an outstanding field hockey player and is now playing at Harvard.

My other brother, Benjamin, plays water polo, and plays for the Netherlands U19 National Team, and is committed to continue playing water polo at Stanford University in 2025!

AND, my parents were both athletes, too, so that might have something to do with it as well.

Hereby are some photos of our family:
