Work for commercial broadcasters
In late 2005 she was a presenter on the new television channel Talpa where in addition to Beau van Erven Dorens she presented the news and show program NSE. This job she took first in alternation with Inge Ipenburg but later with Evert Santegoeds. When the format was changed from NSE to NSE NEWS and it was more focused on news and less on sports and entertainment, her role as presenter was no longer needed. She had a stint as a reporter for News at NSE, but after the program was abandoned from the television channel of De Mol she did not come back on television.
