After completing my studies in Communication and Nursing, I worked as a neurology nurse at the Groene Hart Hospital. My interest in contributing to scientific research led me to pursue a master’s degree in Health Sciences. Since June 1, 2023, I have been working as a research nurse and trial coordinator in the Neurology (Neuromuscular Diseases) department at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC).

In my role, I am responsible for coordinating and conducting scientific research involving human subjects. The aim is to develop effective and safe therapies for patients with these conditions, thereby optimizing diagnostics, treatment, and care for individuals with neuromuscular diseases. The research focuses on conditions such as facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), inclusion body myositis (IBM), and myasthenia gravis (MG).
