Born in Munich, she received her dance training at the Munich Ballet Academy (HMTM) and graduated from the Benedict Manniegel Ballet Academy. At the Tanzolymp in Berlin she won gold, silver and a special prize in the Modern Dance category. Since 2008 she has been dancing as the Company’s first soloist, mostly in choreographies created especially for her by Heinz Manniegel, and as his choreographic assistant and rehearsal director she is significantly involved in the teaching process. In 2016, for example, she rehearsed his Lomir Tanzn for performances at the Bavarian State Opera.

Since 2010 she has realised her own choreographic projects, such as Fort:Da for the Munich Biennale for New Music Theatre, Orfeo ed Euridice, MULTIMOVE in the Blackbox/Gasteig or One Charming Night in collaboration with the Vocalconsort Munich 2018. As solo interpreter of her own choreographies she could be seen for example at Tanz Hoch X in Regensburg or 2017 and 2018 at the Hier&Jetzt Festival Schwere Reiter Theater Munich. Since 2014 she has also dedicated herself to opera direction: with Orfeo ed Euridice as the concertante version and Tanz im Carl-Orff-Saal/Gasteig München in 2014 she began her collaboration with Andreas Schlegel, which continued in the new production Orphée et Eurydice in the summer of 2016 for Starnberg Opera, and which now bears fruit again in 2018 with Cherubini’s Medea.

After a ballet methodology training (Vaganowa) with Prof. Heinz Manniegel, she has been teaching classical ballet and her own neo-modern dance style with Benedict Manniegel since 2006. From winter semester 2018/19 she will deepen her professional knowledge at the Palucca Hochschule für Tanz in the extra-occupational M.A. course in dance education.

After a B.A. in Literature at the Fernuni Hagen, she completed her Master’s in Cultural and Media Management at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in 2018 and is increasingly involved in the management of Benedict Manniegel.
