Additionally, she works as a training actress in companies and organizations and directs at Operagroep The Fat Lady in Haarlem. Her background includes education, healthcare management, and theater.
Her work and approach are significantly influenced by the system of the Russian actor and director of the Moscow Theatre, Constantin Stanislavski. His scientific approach to acting has led to a system that continues to be a source of inspiration in the theater and film world.
