Elize had her first modeling job as a young child, being a model for a school supply campaign. After this she never really stopped, but officially she got scouted when she was 17 for the Elite Modellook. However, instead of signing a model contract, she signed a record deal.

For 8 years she lived in Los Angeles where she was in a band with which she performed all over the world. During this time she often got approached for modeling jobs and worked with different modeling agencies. She still remembers doing a Hyundai commercial in LA, driving around the city for days, or the promo shoot for the film The Dictator when she was working in the famous Paramount film studio's.

As a model, Elize is supple and knows how to move or dance. She also loves playing sports, such as Base, SUP, high intensity and Barre. Acting is also on her skills list, as well as using her voice for different purposes, such as being the voice of the Dutch version of Happily N'Ever After.
