In 2019 she made her acting debut in the Rai 1 television film Io ricordo, Piazza Fontana, directed by Francesco Miccichè. Her film debut was in the film Caravaggio's Shadow, directed by Michele Placido; she then co-starred in the fifth season of the Netflix series Skam Italia.
She was part of the cast of the international series SAS: Rogue Heroes, distributed worldwide by the BBC. The following year, she co-starred in the film Una storia nera, directed by Leonardo D'Agostini.
She signed a recording contract with LaTarma Records, with which she made her music debut, releasing her first two singles, "Mondo fiorito" and "Figli", the latter dedicated to her brother Damiano. She subsequently participated in the nineteenth edition of the Sanremo Giovani singing competition with the song "Amico lontano", but failed to qualify for the Sanremo Music Festival 2026.
