In January 2012, she climbed the sport climbing route, La Reina Mora 8c+/9a ,[2] which had been only climbed by Ramón Julián Puigblanque, Daniel Andrada, and Nicolas Favresse, and was considered to be close to a full 9a, which would have been the fourth-ever female ascent of a 9a in history).[3]

In 2008, she was a gold medalist in the French competition climbing championship. In 2009, she won the bouldering competition at Rock Master.[4] In 2010, she won a bronze medal at the European Championships in Imst Austria.[5]
