She has performed in France, New Caledonia, and Australia-wide in hundreds of concert performances for cabaret venues, festivals and diplomatic, charity and corporate events. She has been engaged by organisations such as the French Embassy, the French Consulate, the Alliance Française and even the French Navy, making a guest appearance on the navy's celebrated officer training vessel, the Joan of Arc.
