Art & Psychology
After landing her first short film, Nymph left the Audiovisual Media course at the film academy in Hilversum to study Psychology. Feeling called to be of service to others and believing that understanding human emotions would enhance her art, she embarked on this new journey. With her father being a doctor and her mother a therapist, the importance of both physical and mental health was instilled in her from an early age, leading Nymph to develop a deep appreciation for holistic well-being. She studied Psychology at the University of Leiden and the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. Today, she holds a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, a testament to her dedication to exploring the intricacies of the human mind and her commitment to the study and understanding of emotions, reflecting her profound desire to express sentiment in her art.
Beside art, Nymph is a practicing psychologist at a forensic mental health clinic, specializing in domestic violence.
Classical dancer
Returning to her roots and lifelong love for music, dance, and performance, Nymph became active as a core dancer and choreographer with Bollywood dance and performance group Shiraj Entertainment (2018–2024). Since 2021, she has been studying Bharatanatyam under Poernima Gobardhan, allowing her to further refine and deepen her artistry. Her Arangetram, the highly anticipated formal debut in Indian classical dance, is scheduled for 2027.
