Born in France, her first steps in ballet happened in the Conservatoire in Nantes at a very young age. At 15 years old, she moved to Paris as she was accepted in the Conservatoire de Boulogne-Billancourt and two years later, in the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.There she got the chance to be mentored by Isabelle Ciaravola, Jean-Guillaume Bart and also Christophe Duquesne, all big figures of Paris opera.
After receiving her certificat d’interprétation she headed to the Het National Ballet Academy in the trainee program where she got the opportunity to work with the company on Makarova’s La Bayadère.
She starts her professional career in the Bucharest National Opera House where she got to do all the biggest classical ballets like Le Corsaire, Swan Lake, Don Quixote, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, The Nutcracker and La Bayadère. Shortly after, she was given bigger roles such as: Odalisque, Mercedes, kitri’s friends l, big swans, pas d’action and much more.
Alongside the classics, the work of neoclassical choreographers such as Renato Zanella and Davide Bombana marked the beginning of her interest in the contemporary movement.
Carmina Burana, Romeo and Juliet and The rite of spring were productions where she had soloist roles.
Her vision of contemporary expanded when Richard Wherlock chose her to interpret the Main role of Golda in The fiddler on the roof.
