After a BAC A3 audiovisual option and two years of DEUG in Performing Arts at Paris 3 - Censier University, she leaves Paris for traveling. Back in Paris in 2000, she works as a socio-cultural mediator in a hostel for young workers and spreads its passion for cinema and its questions about the representations. She collaborates in the productions of other authors and in the creation of cultural and social events (Festival of Holiday Films, Other Successes and Compagnie Umbral in the Avignon Festival, etc.). In 2006, she returned to her first love to work in production at Shilo films (formerly BVNG productions). There, she worked with producers Fred Bellaïche and Geoffroy Grison, and participated in the production of films (Ce que mes yeux ont vu, by Laurent de Bartillat, Tehilim by Raphaël Nadjari, Un si beau voyage by Khaled Ghorbal and Number one, by Zakia Tahiri) at Shilo films (formerly BVNG productions). At the same time, she signs a first realization, entitled Pinophilus. She then worked for the cinema administration (CNC) while continuing to write scripts for short and feature films and to collaborate on the productions of other artists. In perpetual quest for an exchange between theory and practice, she validated a Bachelor of Cinema at the University of Paris 10 (Nanterre-La Défense), and followed a training course in directing actors and acting in front of the camera which leads on an experimental work group (The training lab: directors & actors working on texts). She also holds a DU directing creative documentaries (Université Picardie Jules Vernes - Amiens). Today she continues to write and direct.
