She trained at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg (2009–2014) and holds a Bachelor's degree in Art History and Cultural Studies from Humboldt University Berlin (2022), with a specialization in Eastern European contemporary art.

On screen, she is known for her lead role in Gondola (dir. Veit Helmer, 2023), which premiered internationally, and for her recurring role in the ZDF/Arte series Bad Banks (seasons 1 & 2).

She is also active as a moderator at film festivals including Achtung Berlin (2025) and the International Hofer Filmtage (2024–2025), as well as for artist talks and film premieres.

Committed to ecological and social issues, she has been involved with Letzte Generation and Parents for Future, and co-organized a 24-hour livestream on the Regierungsinsel in Berlin.

Languages and the spaces between cultures are at the heart of her work. Working in French, German, and English, she explores questions of gender, language, resilience, and collective futures.
