Urologist & Endurance Athlete Sport has been an integral part of my life from an early age. Beginning with swimming and volleyball in my youth, I continued this passion through secondary school, focusing on sports sciences. Today, as a practicing urologist and surgeon, I find balance and rejuvenation through running and cycling after demanding days in the hospital. I am proud to serve as a team doctor for Alpecin–Deceuninck, where I merge my medical expertise with my enthusiasm for cycling. Personally, I’ve completed several granfondos, notably finishing as the fourth woman in the Cannibale. Over the past two years, I’ve embraced gravel biking, enjoying the freedom it offers in nature. Running remains a cornerstone of my routine. Since 2025, I’ve been a member of the ASICS FrontRunner team, embodying the philosophy “Sound Mind, Sound Body.” With three marathons completed and a personal best of 3:45, I’ve recently ventured into trail running and am preparing for my first trail race this summer. For me, sport is more than just physical activity—it’s therapy, passion, and a way of life.

My favourite Etixx products

Modern pentathlon & athletics

When the alarm clock goes off in the morning, I always look forward to going to train. Exercise is the highlight of my day. As a former gymnast and current endurance athlete, I got involved in an Olympic project with an ambitious goal: to be the first Belgian to qualify for the Olympic Games in the modern pentathlon. Since then, every day has become even more meaningful.

Padel

My sport is padel. For my sport, I live in Spain (Barcelona) to train in the best conditions. I am a person who loves natural environments. I travel everywhere for my international tournaments. I like a good steak, fries and salad (we are Belgians or not), my friends and the PlayStation.

Athletics

Soy solo una chica que se enamoró de correr hace unos años. Disfruto mucho de mi trabajo y me encanta compartirlo con las personas más increíbles, mis compañeros de equipo. Me gusta empujarme a mis límites y ver de lo que soy capaz. También soy bastante competitiva y siempre doy lo mejor de mí cuando compito. Además de correr, también me encanta el café, el sol, un buen libro, vestirme bien, hacer crochet y, por supuesto, divertirme con mis amigos.
