After completing her studies at HF ZUB at Tanzwerk101 in Zurich and earning her BA (Hons) in Urban and Contemporary Dance (2023), she has developed several pieces, including TURBULENCE, breathless*, stubborn illusion*, A.tactus.I*, KID and the one who watches as one* (*those duo pieces were co-created and co-choreographed with Nina Pfüller).

Together with the artists Eugen Liengme and Marco Ferronato, she developed the interdisciplinary piece sandandsound + steps, which premiered in 2025 at Baby Angel Zürich.
Her first full-length piece KID has been touring successfully since 2023 in and around Zurich (CH).
Her latest full-length duet the one who watches as one was co-choreographed with Nina Pfüller during residencies at RedSapata Linz and Dance Studio Olten, where it was also presented to the public.
