Develops her artistic work through sound, image, text and live arts. She studied Fine Arts and Cultural Studies between Utrecht and Madrid, and an MA in Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute.

Her works take the form of sound walks, installation, collective encounters, listening sessions or performance.
