In 2012 I graduated from Utrecht University (the Netherlands), after which I undertook an equine internship at first Massey University (New Zealand) and then Utrecht University. In the next years I worked in equine and small animal practice. In 2018 I returned to Utrecht University for an internship in ophthalmology, which I extended with an extra year. After a brief period working as a veterinary policy officer at the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, I will start my residency at Utrecht University in May 2021 under supervision of Sylvia Djajadiningrat-Laanen.
