After earning her Bachelor’s degree under Professor Dmitri Ferschtman, she continued her education at the “Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien” with Professor Reinhard Latzko. In 2014, she completed her studies at the Conservatory of Amsterdam with Professor Floris Mijnders, graduating Cum Laude.
