She studied choreography at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam and her solo work Silk received the Prix Jardin d’Europe at lmPulsTanz in 2012. Following her collaborations with Vincent Riebeek (Kein Applaus für Scheisse, Spirit, Wellness and Schönheitsabend) she created the trilogy Recovery, Apollon and TANZ.
