From 2019, she pursued a joint Master’s degree in vocal performance, specializing in both “concert/Lied” and “opera,” studying with Snežana Stamenković and graduating in spring 2022. She also benefited from the guidance of Axel Bauni in Lied masterclasses.
She was awarded scholarships from the Richard-Wagner Verband Mannheim and the “Deutschland-Stipendium” of the Rotary-Club Ludwigshafen am Rhein in 2016, and won the 17th Paula Salomon-Lindberg competition “Das Lied” in Berlin in 2021.
