In parallel, she has been pursuing her musical studies (classical and baroque singing and orchestral percussion) at the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg and the Conservatoire du Nord. She is very excited to be able to put some of those skills to use by helping with the musical bits of 'Daisy Pulls It Off' - even if they mostly consist of hymns being sung out of tune by unenthusiastic school pupils in assembly. She also studied Russian at university, which she hopes will help a bit with feigning a Russian accent during the play!
