From 2014 she began her path as a quartet musician, joining the Quartetto Echos as second violin. In 2015, Quartetto Echos undertook an advanced training path with the Quartetto di Cremona at the “W.

Drawn to teaching from a desire to understand how pedagogical practice could become a powerful means of comprehension and communication, in 2012 she began teaching violin at the “Giuditta Pasta” Music Academy in Como, and later at the “Polifonie” association in Como. From September 2013 to June 2017 she taught at “Il Borgo Musicale” in Clivio.
