About An

Since 2019, I have been working as a plastic surgeon at the VieCuri Medical Center in Venlo and the Laurentius Hospital in Roermond.

Training

I studied medicine at the University of Maastricht and then trained as a plastic surgeon at the Catharina Hospital Eindhoven, the Maxima Medisch Centrum Veldhoven and the Maastricht University Medical Center.

In 2015, I received my PhD from Maastricht University with the dissertation entitled: Smoking and other influencing factors on skin and scar quality. In 2019, I obtained my European certification and am a fellow of the European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthethic Surgery (EBOPRAS).

• Facts

After high school, I started my career as a nurse at MUMC. After working as a nurse for 2 years, I wanted to delve further into medicine and did physician assistant training. This education only made me more eager to continue learning, and in 2008 I began studying medicine at Maastricht University.

During my internships, my love for plastic surgery remained and I knew for sure that I wanted to continue in this field. Working in a team with precision reconstructing or improving parts of the body is my passion.

I live in Maastricht with my boyfriend and two children.

Exercising keeps me mentally and physically fit. I love running around Mount Pietersberg and cycling in the Limburg hills.
