While living in Brussels, she was nominated MusMA composer for Belgium. Eric Sleichim, chair of the jury, motivated their decision with these words: "What I love about her music is that you can feel the great mastery in her composing. She has an understanding not only of the technical aspects of the instruments but also of their identities. She is successful, for example, in drawing poetry while allowing virtuosity to resound. No small task for a young composer.". Based between Italy and the UK, she works on personal and commissioned projects, and is currently a PhD candidate in Music (Composition) at the University of Oxford.
