Acting career
She was discovered at the age of 11, while walking on a road with her mum, by French director Manuel Pradal who was in the middle of the casting process for his movie Mary from the Bay of Angels (Marie Baie des Anges) at the time. She took part in the shooting during the summer after their encounter.
In 1998, she also played opposite Isabelle Huppert in The School of Flesh (LÉcole de la Chair) by Benoît Jacquot.
