Sandra van der Zweep was born in Germany and moved to the Netherlands in 1988, where she had to learn the language. After completing secondary school, she graduated with a degree in international business communication in 2000. She develops compelling storylines for image and campaign films and regularly appears on camera as a press spokesperson. 

Since 2016, she has been investing in her acting skills, first in theater and later in front of the camera. Since 2023, she has been working with mezzo-soprano Yvonne Lamik on her classical singing voice. 

She lives with her husband and two children in the Lower Rhine region. She is firmly convinced that she can do more as an actress than she has shown so far. She is currently taking online acting classes at the Chubbuck Studio Los Angeles and will train in February 2026 at the Meisner Academy in Den Bosch (NL).
