After graduating as a bachelor at the Antwerp University UFSIA, she completed her law studies in 2003 at the Faculty of Law of Antwerp University UIA, where she specialised in international law and constitutional law and concentrated on the study of criminal law and criminal proceedings.

During the academic year of 2003-2004, she successfully followed the complementary course of Criminological Sciences. The purpose of these studies is to impart scientific insights about multiple aspects of the phenomena “criminality” and “deviant behaviour” by means of a synthesis of various disciplines (criminal law, psychology, medical science, etc.).

During her three-year training, she enjoyed an ample education and was introduced to multiple disciplines of law and the diversity of the legal profession.

Under the expert guidance of her patron, Me J. De Man, she specialises in criminal law, more particularly when treating cases before the Assize Court.
