At the age of 21 she moved from Portugal to Germany and studied at the HfMDK Frankfurt. Since then her artistic work has spanned orchestral practice, contemporary music, and open, interdisciplinary formats.

She has worked with, among others, the hr-Sinfonieorchester, the MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Ulysses, Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Klassische Philharmonie Bonn, the Anhaltisches Theater Dessau, the Mendelssohn Kammerorchester Leipzig, Ensemble Reflektor and the Asambura Ensemble. Her work has taken her to Festival ManiFeste in Paris, Kunstfest Weimar, the Lucerne Festival, the Berliner Festspiele and Warsaw Autumn.

Beyond the classical concert context she is drawn to formats at the intersection of music, improvisation and electronics, for example in Falstaff at the Staatstheater Gießen and Solastalgia at the Schauspiel Frankfurt. As part of Tarek Atoui's Extended Playground at the GFZK Leipzig she worked with instruments outside her own background, which expanded her practice beyond the oboe and shaped her playful approach to sound and performance.

Through the TONALi-LAB and later with support from the Orchesterstiftung she developed her first solo project, I would… if I could get out of my head, in collaboration with the artist Chiara Stuto, which continues to be performed. She was a fellow at the TONALi Stage Academy, where she developed À Mesa, a site-specific intervention in Portugal, and completed the International Ensemble Modern Academy with a scholarship from the Kunststiftung NRW. This year she was selected as a scholar of the TRANSIENT Academy and Concerto21.
