After completing the MA Contemporary Arts Practice (HKB, Bern) and the MA Research on the Arts (University of Bern) she did her PhD on avant-garde vocal practices of the 1950s (Graduate School of the Arts, GSA, University of Bern) using "Audioscoring" a method she specially developed for her research. She is now working as a postdoctoral researcher on tape compositions for voices of the 1950s and 1960s as part of the research project "Schreiben mit Stimmen" [Writing with Voices] at the BUA funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
