She joined Victor Quijada in 2002 and quickly became the emblem of Rubberbandance, of which she was the co-artistic director from 2006 to 2015. She participated in more than ten creations and played a major role in the development of the Rubberband method. Between 1994 and 2000, she danced with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Nederlands Dans Theater, Gulbenkian Ballet and performed roles by choreographers Jiří Kylián, Hans Van Manen, Johan Inger, Ohad Naharin, Paul Lightfoot and Sol Leon.
