[2] [3] She made her debut for the national team on 30 May 2021. [4] She was part of the national team at the 2021 Women's EuroHockey Nations Championship. [5] [6]

She was included in the Netherlands squad for the women's field hockey tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics, held in July and August 2021. Though designated as an alternate player, [7] due to rule changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic she was eligible to compete in all matches (unlike previous tournaments, in which alternates could only compete after permanently replacing an injured player). [8] Though the Netherlands earned the gold medal, she did not make an appearance and was therefore ineligible to receive a medal. [9] [10]
