In 1992, she began her career as composer and played solo concerts. She recorded her debut CD "Roots And Wings" together with Sandro Friedrich (from famous world-group "Acanto"). The last few years she has played concerts and festivals solo or occasionally together with Sandro Friedrich. She is also working as a studio-harpist and gives classes in celtic harp at different music schools in Switzerland.
