Maeijer obtained a bachelor's degree in Dutch law at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2009, and completed a master's degree in international and European public law at the same institution. Between 2007 and 2014, she worked at different times as a policy worker for the Party for Freedom, founded in 2006, in the House of Representatives of the Netherlands and the European Parliament.[1] She started working for Raymond de Roon and later became an aid to Louis Bontes.[2] She entered the 2011 Dutch provincial elections as the lijsttrekker (top party candidate) for the Party for Freedom at age 24. She stated that she wanted the provincial government to focus on its main tasks of spatial planning, traffic and environment. Other stated issues were the decrease in provincial civil servants, a decrease in the number of members of the provincial State and provincial executive, and a publicly elected King's Commissioner.[2]
