She completed her BA at London Contemporary Dance School and deepened her practical experience on the Architetture di Corpi HUMUS Professional Programme, Bologna. She in currently completing her RMa at University of Amsterdam in Artistic Research (2024-25).

She works collaboratively with a practice that extends across disciplines, frequently working with the medium of dance as a vehicle to investigate themes of Surrealism, the existential, the cyberself and Feminism. Her research bleeds through into alternate manifestations within film, text and event production. Her foray into the intersection between dance and digital art is explored in ‘The Opposite of a Black Hole’ (2022) for which she received Arts Council Funding, and ‘erms’ (2020-21), both collaborations with Berlin based artist Tasha Hess-Neustadt.
