In 2023, she played Michelle, an uptight, alcoholic vegan veterinary in Centaur’s AlterNatives. She was also part of the French Canadian Tour of that same production: AlterIndiens in 2024.  Her talent was also noticed in the music video Water by De.Ville, for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the Prisma Rome Independent Film Awards, and the web series Rima et Jacob, for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Film in Focus International Film Festival. On screen, you can see her in Antigone, Les chambres rouges, Montreal Girls, Broken Waters, La face cachée du baklava, Le dernier repas, Le ventre de Bassima, La Candidate, L’Empereur, Sorcières and Hôtel Beyrouth -which is planned to air in Fall 2024-  to name a few credits.  She is excited to be at the National Arts Centre for the first time in the English premiere of Rose in the Machine.
