Since 2009 I have been working as a nurse specialist with a focus on breast cancer. First in the MC Zuiderzee in Lelystad and from 2016 in the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.

The field of breast cancer fascinates me because it is a field that is constantly evolving through research. There is still a lot we don't know about the development and treatment of breast cancer, although developments are going very fast. A lot of research is done at the NKI, so we are often ahead of the guideline, the treatment plan is really tailor-made. This makes working at the NKI very inspiring and challenging.
