In 2016 she was awarded 3rd place at the BUNDESWETTBEWERB GESANG and with the special prize for the best performance of a contemporary composition now also "classical". At the Theater für Niedersachsen she then sang her first Agathe im FREISCHÜTZ. In the summer of 2017 she was the only German singer to reach the semi-finals of the Belvedere Competition in Moscow, making her one of the top 50 of over 1,000 participants worldwide. She sang concerts at the Prinzregententheater and the Philharmonie am Gasteig Munich with the Munich Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz. Until the end of the 2019 season she was a permanent member of the ensemble at the Bern Concert Theatre, where she sang Donna Anna in DON GIOVANNI, Fiordiligi in COSÍ FAN TUTTE and Micaela in CARMEN, among others.
