She gained a diploma from the Paris Conservatory in the class of Glenn Chambers and took advanced classes in early music with Howard Crook and Isabelle Poulenard.

Abroad, his refined art seduces ensembles such as Les Muffatti (Peter Van Heyghen), the Capella Cracoviensis (Jan Tomasz Adamus), the Hassler Consort (Franz Raml), the Orfeo Orchestra (György Vashegyi) or Armonia Atenea (George Petrou)

In opera, she has sung the role of Al-Faïma in Dubois’ Aben-Hamet at Atelier Lyrique in Tourcoing, La Neige and Le Printemps in La Chouette Enrhumée by French composer Gérard Condé at Metz Opera, a water-nymph in Lully’s Armide at Lorraine National Opera in Nancy, Cléone and Une Ombre Heureuse in Castor and Pollux by Rameau successively with Le Concert Spirituel at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and with Les Talens Lyriques at Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse.
