It fascinates me to express feelings with my voice and to touch people deep inside. That's why I like working with directors and conductors who take the text seriously. Who fathom the depth of a character. It almost doesn't matter whether it's new or old music, great classics or small chamber works, opera or oratorio - the main thing is that the music tells me something.

Trying out different styles and pieces of music was important to me even during my studies. Fortunately, Prof. Yaron Windmüller at the Saarbrücken University of Music encouraged me to do this and always gave me good advice. Prizes from the Zonta-Club Saarbrücken, Richard-Wagner-Verband, as a finalist at Schubert and Moderne Graz and the nomination for Young Singer of the Year in the Opernwelt encouraged me in my course. 
Immediately after completing my studies, General Music Director Toshiyuki Kamioka took me on to the ensemble of the Wuppertal Theater. This gave me the opportunity to sing exciting roles such as Pamina (Mozart), Norina (Donizetti), Zdenka (Strauss) or Gretel (Humperdinck) and to get to know the operation of a large opera house. 

In 2014 I decided to work as a freelance singer. Since then I have sung the little vixen Schlaukopf in Janacek's “The Cunning Little Vixen”, Eurilla in Haydn's “Ritter Roland” or in the world premiere of “A Room of One's Own” at the Theater Hagen. As a stand-in, I was able to experience big stages such as the Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf, the Deutsche Oper Berlin or the Theater Dortmund. Recitals, quartet performances with "Klanghoch4" and oratorios gave me the opportunity to refine the diverse expressive possibilities of my voice. It is also important to me to pass on the joy of singing. That's why I teach both children at the Wuppertaler Mädchenkurrende and students at the Cologne University of Music/Wuppertal department.
