She holds a doctorat of Fine Arts in Composition from the University of Gothenburg, she also studied electro-acoustic music at IRCAM (Paris), as well as did her doctoral studies at UCSD (San Diego, California).

Ni d'ici-ni d'ailleurs - for ensemble (2015)
This piece is dedicated to displaced individuals all over the world who have left their homes in the hope of finding equilibrium elsewhere. There is a nostalgia for their old homes, but many of these people succeed in creating a cross-cultural unique identity. Ni d'ici ni d'ailleurs is inspired by my own experience as a displaced person, as well.
