She was a member of the Netherlands squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[4] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut against United Arab Emirates in the World Twenty20 Qualifier on 7 July 2018.[5] In July 2018, she was named in the ICC Women's Global Development Squad.[6]

During that Qualifier she made 78 runs against Sri Lanka on November 23, 2021. On August 26, 2022, she made 76 in a One Day International against Ireland at her home ground, Westvliet.

"For me, it offers the opportunity to compete with the world's best and to make some money, so that I can postpone an office job a bit and continue to play cricket for the Netherlands."[11]
