Since I was 17 years old I do fitness. I started with it because I have a bone defect at  my knees and it was hurting a lot.
Fitness was a way to strengthen my muscles so my knees wouldn't bother me to much Then I couldn't take three steps and now I can run 10 km without any problems.

When I saw myself improving, I started to like fitness. And now five years later it has become an addiction.

Besides fitness I like extreme sports, Canoeying, rafting, hydrospeed, climbing, abseile ... I love it all. I have been canoeying since I was a child. During holidays I immediately started to look for more challenges.

And when I am not on holiday, then I look for it in the Netherlands. I live near the Utrechts Heuvelrug, where you can find me regularly on my mountainbike. Besides that I participate in running competitions and if the weather is great I do skating trips.

The UFC offers me the possibility to go extreme. I consider the competition as a great challenge!! Not only to open up my horizons and to have fun, but also to achieve.
