She finished the Conservatory with a Musical Studies Degree for piano, then discovered the organ and went on to pursue her studies at the Geneva Haute École de Musique.

 

She obtained a Master’s in Pedagogy for organ after studying with Vincent Thévenaz and Alessio Corti and then a Master’s in Choral Conducting with Celso Antunes.  She also studied opera singing with Francesca Giarini and Claude Darbellay.

She has been conducting the Villanelle Choir in Evian-les Bains since 2019, and the Club de Yodel Alphuttli in Geneva since 2018.  As she has passion for teaching and working with children, she also teaches music initiation classes  and choral singing.  The Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method, respiratory coordination and yoga are further skills she has mastered for her musical work, having incorporated them into her teaching.
