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

In 2008, she was a gold medalist in the French 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]

She is also interested in other sports, including the pole vault.[6]
