Graduated in Fine Arts from FBAUP in 2018, where also completed a Postgraduate Degree in Fine Arts (2020). In 2022, attended the intensive course in Community Artistic Practices promoted by PELE - Cultural and Social Association.

Her work develops from painting, photography, engraving and the production of artist's books. The practice emerges from an attention to everyday life, exploring light, nature and the traces these elements leave in their path. The research focuses on the unfolding of image and memory, questioning concepts such as impression and evidence, presence and absence, visibility and invisibility.
