After graduating from the atheneum of the Thorbecke Scholengemeenschap, she moved to Utrecht to study general social science at the University of Utrecht in 1999, having also considered applying for a job with the police instead.[2] It was arround this time that she became politically active.[3] During her studies she was a member of student association Unitas S.R. and the youth wing of the Labour Party, the Jonge Socialisten, where she was on the national board at the time of the assassination of Pim Fortuyn in 2002.[2]

She was a policy advisor and project manager for the police before that.[2][6] She resigned from the Utrecht council and her position at the Hogeschool in 2017, when she moved to Rotterdam to live with her partner and his child and became a senior advisor to the national Labour Party.[7][5] During the 2023 general election she was working as a sector head for the police and residing in Rotterdam-Zuid.[8]
