In 2025, she began directing and writing Sexugénaires, her first television series produced by ROMEO, which will air on TV5 in 2026.

In 2024, her documentary ASBESTOS, which she wrote, directed, and edited, was selected for the official competition of the 31st edition of the prestigious Hot Docs festival. Her documentary series Sexugénaires will air on TV5 in the fall of 2026, and she is currently working on the pre-production of Géants, a six-episode fiction series scheduled to air in spring 2027, for which she also wrote the screenplay.
