She danced with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in 2018 during the Défilé at the Soirée des étoiles and in their productions of The Nutcracker, where she performed various roles from 2017 and later as corps de ballet in 2022 and 2023.
Interested in the "arts and sciences" approach, she also collaborated on the co-creation and performance of contemporary works with the company Fleuve | Espace Danse.
She joined Les Grands Ballets Canadiens as an apprentice in 2024.
