Two years ago I started at CareToMatch after working at an international recruitment agency.  

I am trained as a dietician so I wanted to continue doing something healthcare related where I have enough time to help people. That is something I missed in the Dutch healthcare system.  

Travelling is in my blood and I love working with different nationalities and languages. In my spare time, I also host young people who go on international cycling trips. I regularly meet people with fantastic stories who spend a night in our garden with their tent.   

I live with my young family just across the border in Germany, so I can inform you well about emigrating to a German-speaking country and the pros and cons of working in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. 

I am active every day and prefer to go cycling, swimming or running.

I graduated as a physiotherapist in Groningen in the beginning of 2016. After 2 years of work experience in the Netherlands, I still wanted to go into another adventure. I decided rather impulsively to continue my career in Switzerland and in retrospect that turned out to be one of my best choices of my life. Not only did I enjoy my profession more over there, I still dream about all the leisure opportunities the country has to offer.  

Since the end of 2020 I am living in the Netherlands again and I enjoy working at CareToMatch, because helping people and guiding them to their goals is in my blood. Besides that I get energy from still being in close contact with a nice period in my life. Because of my experience I can give you a good and honest picture of the possibilities that are available to you.

In my spare time I mainly like to be active, like fitness, running or mountain biking. I also like to travel to new countries and return regularly to the beautiful Switzerland.

After living and studying in Groningen for four years, I thought it was time for a new adventure. For this reason, I moved to Lucerne in 2020 to work here as a physiotherapist. I was immediately impressed by the beautiful nature and the good standard of living. At the end of 2021, I started travelling for six months, but then returned to Switzerland without hesitation. Currently, I live and work in the city of Zurich. In my spare time I spend a lot of time hiking or skiing in the mountains, this still gives me a holiday feeling every weekend.
Since November 2022, in addition to my job as a physiotherapist, I have also been working for CareToMatch. I am very happy that I made the step to move to Switzerland and it gives me a lot of energy to help others to be able to do the same.

At the end of last year, I moved from Lucerne to Groningen where I also graduated in 2018.
I am a physiotherapist, and have treated a varied target group. From children and adults with mental and physical disabilities in the Netherlands to primary care practices in Switzerland. What gives me particular satisfaction is helping and guiding people, and with enthusiasm and positivity I always strive for the best possible result.
After my adventure in beautiful Switzerland, where I learned a lot and certainly enjoyed myself, I decided to start working at CareToMatch.
I like to be active, like playing volleyball, running, hiking and recently I started going to the gym on a regular basis. Besides being active, I enjoy friends and family, good food and spontaneity.
If you have any questions about living and working in Switzerland, please feel free to send me a message!

I was born and raised in Germany near Düsseldorf, but right after graduating from high school, I was drawn to the big wide world. After 1.5 years in the USA, I still didn’t want to go back to Germany. I decided to study in the Netherlands. In 2020, I graduated in psychology and after a short trip to Spain and Ecuador for volunteer jobs, I came back to the Netherlands.

With my background and interest in psychology and people, I am well-suited to this company. I enjoy helping others to experience their adventures and I like supporting applicants.

Like everyone on the team, I like to be outside a lot, going hiking, slacklining, or swimming. During my studies, I did a lot of sports and also trained as a yoga teacher. However, my preference (since I was 7 years old) is artistic gymnastics and acrobatics. And another favorite sport of mine is Couchsurfing.
