On 11 June 2012, she reached a career-highWTA singles ranking of 142, whilst her best doubles ranking was world No. 77 on 6 November 2023. She married on 7 July 2014, and took her husband's surname, however, in late 2016, reverted to her maiden name, Schoofs.In December 2016, she became national singles champion under that name.^[1][2]

In her career, she has won eight singles tournaments on theITF Women's Circuit, three of them in 2011. In doubles, she has won 23 ITF titles, three of them in 2017. At age 29, she won the doubles title at the2017 Mumbai Open,^[3][4] a tournament on the Challenger-level. In January 2018, she won her first doubles title onWTA Tour, at theAuckland Open,^[5] her second inLyon in 2023, and the third 2024 on grass, at her home tournamentRosmalen Open.

Playing for theNetherlands Billie Jean King Cup team, Schoofs has a win–loss record of 6–10 as of May 2025.

Her best season so far has been in 2011 when she climbed more than 250 places in the rankings and won two $25k tournaments, in Montpellier and Middelburg. She also reached the finals in Prague and Zwevegem.

At the end of the season, Schoofs qualified for theLuxembourg Open, thus making her debut in a WTA Tour event. She playedAngelique Kerber in the first round and recorded the biggest win of her career, defeating the world No. 29 in three sets after being down 6–2, 2–0. She then caused another upset against world No. 62, CanadianRebecca Marino, defeating her in the second round in three sets. Her run was ended by British qualifierAnne Keothavong in the quarterfinals where she was beaten 6–3, 6–2.

Schoofs began her year as a qualifier at theAuckland Open, but lost toMonica Puig, leading 6–2, 5–4 and 6–2, 6–7, 3–0.

She then qualified for theAustralian Open. In a 2.5 hour match, she outlasted KazakhYaroslava Shvedova 11–9 in the final set. In the second round she lost to Russian teenagerIrina Khromacheva.

InFed Cup competitions, Schoofs played four matches, winning two. She then was out for two months after a thigh injury.

She started playing again at a $25k event in Civitavecchia, Italy. She won againstAnna Floris, but lost to eventual winnerMaría Teresa Torró Flor in two sets. In the following week, she reached the semifinals at $25k event in Tunis defeatingÇağla Büyükakçay,Pemra Özgen andAna Savić, all in straight sets. She was beaten in three sets bySandra Zaniewska. She played at the $50k Saint-Gaudens tournament and beatMelanie Oudin andEdina Gallovits-Hall in the first two rounds, before losing to former world No. 15,Aravane Rezaï, in the quarterfinals.

Schoofs tried to qualify for the main draw of theFrench Open. However, she was beaten in three close sets byAkgul Amanmuradova from Uzbekistan, in the first round. Schoofs also tried to qualify for the main draw of the WTA tournament in Birmingham, played on grass. She was beaten in the first round by Melanie Oudin, 6–4, 7–6. This was her first match on grass in seven years. She again played qualifying at theWimbledon Championships where she beatDia Evtimova, 6–2, 6–2, andZheng Saisai, 6–3, 6–3, to reach the final qualifying round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career. She held three setpoints in the first set againstMirjana Lučić before succumbing 5–7, 4–6.

Schoofs suffered a shock loss at the $25k tournament in Ystad where she was the top seed. The transition from grass to clay was too difficult to handle for her; she lost to Austrian Nicole Rottmann in three sets. Schoofs played a $50k clay-court tournament in Versmold, Germany the week after that. She beat French qualifierAnaïs Laurendon in the first round. She defeatedLeticia Costas in the second round, andKristina Mladenovic in the quarterfinals (all in straight sets), and faced former world No. 36,Anastasija Sevastova, in the semifinals.
